EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that showcases the artistic brilliance of Ignatius Cornelis Marinus. This 17th-century masterpiece takes us back in time to witness a profound biblical event - the flight of the Holy Family into Egypt. In this exquisite engraving, we see Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus seeking refuge from King Herod's wrath. Accompanied by an angelic presence, they traverse through rugged terrain on a donkey's back. The artist skillfully captures their expressions of concern and determination as they embark on this perilous journey. Marinus' attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his pen. The delicate lines bring life to each figure - from the serene Madonna cradling her infant son to Joseph's protective stance beside them. The composition exudes a sense of vulnerability yet radiates with hope and faith. This Flemish artwork not only depicts an important moment in Christian history but also serves as a testament to the cultural heritage it represents. As we gaze upon this historic piece at the art centre or gallery exhibition, we are transported back centuries ago, immersed in its rich narrative. "The Flight into Egypt" stands as a reminder of humanity's resilience amidst adversity and our eternal quest for safety and salvation. It is an enduring symbol that transcends time and continues to captivate audiences with its beauty and significance.
