More about this artwork

Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo's engraving "The Flight with the Holy Family at the Left" from around 1750–1753 is a compelling portrayal of the Biblical narrative of the Flight into Egypt. This work showcases Tiepolo's masterful etching techniques, exhibiting exquisite detail and dramatic expression which are characteristic of the period's artwork.In this scene, we observe the Holy Family during their urgent escape to Egypt, as recounted in the Gospels. Positioned on the left side of the composition, the figures of Mary and Joseph, along with the infant Jesus, are rendered with delicate artistic strokes. Mary, depicted in flowing robes, rides a donkey, symbolizing the modest means of the family. Joseph, shown walking beside them, appears as a guiding and protective figure, his face turned towards Mary and Jesus.The artwork captures not just the figures but also a lush, detailed landscape that invites the viewer to explore the world around the fleeing family. The background reveals a serene yet distant town, suggesting safety and solace afar. The use of light and shadow, combined with detailed textures of the trees and clouds, enhances the depth and emotion of the scene, evoking a sense of urgency and movement.
