EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of art from the 12th century, titled "Flight into Egypt". The original capital, carved meticulously out of stone by the French School, can be found in the Cathedral Museum of St. Lazare in Autun, Burgundy, France. The intricate carving depicts a poignant scene from biblical history - Joseph and Mary's desperate escape to Egypt with baby Jesus to evade King Herod's wrath. A beautifully sculpted donkey carries the Holy Family through rugged terrain as they seek refuge in a foreign land. The craftsmanship displayed in this Romanesque architectural masterpiece is truly awe-inspiring. Every detail is expertly rendered - from the delicate folds of Virgin Mary's robes to the serene expression on her face as she cradles baby Jesus. Joseph stands protectively beside them, his gaze fixed ahead with determination. This artwork not only serves as a testament to the skill and talent of its creators but also offers viewers an opportunity for reflection and contemplation. It symbolizes hope amidst adversity and reminds us of the power of faith and love. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' high-quality reproduction, we are able to appreciate this historical treasure even if we cannot witness it firsthand. This print allows us to bring a piece of ancient artistry into our modern lives while honoring its cultural significance that has stood the test of time.
