Flight into Egypt, a round composition
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Stefano della Bella is a captivating black and white etching that transports us back to the 17th century. This intricate artwork depicts an iconic biblical scene - the flight of the Holy Family into Egypt. In this mesmerizing print, we see Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus fleeing their homeland on a donkey's back. The angelic figures surround them in protection as they embark on their journey through the countryside. Stefano della Bella masterfully captures the emotions of fear and uncertainty on their faces as they seek refuge from King Herod's wrath. The round composition adds depth to the artwork, drawing our eyes towards each character and detail with precision. Della Bella's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his etching technique. This piece not only showcases Della Bella's artistic talent but also serves as a powerful representation of Christian faith and devotion. It reminds us of the strength found within family bonds and highlights themes such as motherhood, religion, and heritage. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this print stands as a testament to Della Bella's contribution to Italian art history. As we gaze upon this timeless masterpiece today, it continues to inspire awe and reverence for its beauty and significance.
