More about this artwork

Claude Lorrain, a seminal figure in the baroque art movement, masterfully illustrates the biblical escape of the Holy Family into Egypt in his evocative 1635 painting, "The Flight into Egypt." This landscape, drenched in naturalistic hues and bathed in soft, ethereal light, captures a serene moment in the family’s urgent journey, portraying a deep sense of calm amidst a narrative of escape.In the painting, the central figures, Joseph, Mary, and the infant Jesus, are depicted traveling across a lush, verdant landscape. Joseph leads a small donkey over a stone bridge, which Mary and Jesus ride upon. The scene is enveloped by a rich tapestry of towering trees and undergrowth, opening subtly to a distant, hazy mountain range that sets a quiet, reflective mood.Lorrain’s use of light is particularly notable; the soft illumination seems to guide the family on their path, providing a divine sense of direction and protection. The natural surroundings are rendered with meticulous detail, from the textures of the trees to the flowing waters beneath the bridge, highlighting Lorrain's profound skill in elevating landscape as a vital element of storytelling.

Claude Lorrain (1600 – 23 November 1682) was a French painter, draughtsman and etcher of the Baroque era. He spent most of his life in Italy, and is one of the earliest important artists, apart from his contemporaries in Dutch Golden Age painting, to concentrate on landscape painting. His landscapes are usually turned into the more prestigious genre of history paintings by the addition of a few small figures, typically representing a scene from the Bible or classical mythology.
