EDITORS COMMENTS
The engraving captures a serene moment in the biblical story of the Flight into Egypt. Painted by Albrecht Altdorfer in the early 16th century, this print from 1849 beautifully depicts Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus seeking refuge during their escape to Egypt. The scene shows Mary seated on a rock, cradling her child while Joseph stands protectively nearby. Their expressions are calm yet weary, reflecting both the physical exhaustion of their journey and the emotional weight they carry as they flee persecution. Altdorfer's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his engraving technique. The monochrome palette adds depth and texture to each figure, emphasizing their vulnerability amidst an unforgiving landscape. The artist skillfully conveys a sense of restfulness despite the hardships faced by this holy family. This image speaks not only to its religious significance but also serves as a testament to human resilience in times of adversity. It reminds us that even amidst chaos and uncertainty, there is solace to be found through faith and love. As we gaze upon this timeless artwork captured within a 19th-century print collection, we are reminded of our shared humanity across centuries. It invites contemplation on themes such as devotion, sacrifice, and hope – universal concepts that transcend time and place.
