1753
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
The Flight, with Madonna at Right Supported by Angels is a 1753 ink by Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white print shows a chaotic scene with a group of people fleeing on a rocky shore. One man holds a spear, while another clutches a child. To the right, a winged figure reaches toward a woman and child, who seem calm. In the background, trees and a stormy sky fill the scene with movement. The artist used sharp lines and shading to create drama and tension, focusing on the struggle and fear of the people. The winged figure might be an angel, adding a moment of hope in the chaos.
