EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a river landscape with the Flight into Egypt, an oil painting on panel by the talented Flemish artist Marten Ryckaert. The scene is filled with intricate details that transport us to a quaint town nestled along the riverbank. In the foreground, we see a rowing boat gently gliding through calm waters, while ducks gracefully swim nearby. A charming stone bridge spans across the river, connecting both sides of this idyllic setting. On one side of the bridge stands a picturesque church, its spire reaching towards the sky. At the heart of this composition lies the holy family - Mary and Joseph - who are depicted fleeing to Egypt with their young child Jesus. Riding upon a humble donkey, they seek refuge from King Herod's wrath. Their journey takes them past rows of rustic houses and grazing pigs in search of safety. A pulley system hangs above them, hinting at daily life activities taking place in this riverside community. In addition to providing transportation for goods and people across the waterway, there is also a ferry waiting patiently for passengers. This remarkable artwork captures not only an important biblical event but also offers us glimpses into everyday life during Ryckaert's time period. It serves as a testament to his skillful craftsmanship and ability to create landscapes brimming with narrative depth and beauty.
