The Rest on the Flight into Egypt

About this work

This painting depicts a serene scene of the Holy Family resting during their flight into Egypt. The Virgin Mary sits on a rock, gently holding the infant Jesus, while Joseph stands beside her, looking down. An angel is shown to the left, holding a cloth, and another angel is visible to the right. The scene is set against a backdrop of rolling hills and a distant town, with a few trees scattered throughout the landscape. The artist's use of cross-hatching creates a sense of texture and depth in the image. The painting is a beautiful example of Renaissance art, showcasing the artist's skill in capturing a moment of quiet contemplation. To learn more about the artist behind this work, look up Master BM.
