EDITORS COMMENTS
The Rest on the Flight into Egypt," a captivating etching by the renowned Austrian artist Paul Troger, dates back to the 18th century. This masterpiece, created in 1721, showcases the artist's exceptional skill in the use of amorini, cherubs, and putti, adding an ethereal touch to the biblical narrative. The scene depicts the Holy Family - Mary, Joseph, and the infant Jesus - taking a brief respite during their journey into Egypt, as described in the Gospels of Matthew. Surrounded by a multitude of cherubs and putti, the family appears serene and at peace. The Virgin Mary, with her maternal gaze, cradles Jesus tenderly, while Joseph looks on protectively. This etching, with its intricate details and delicate lines, was created using the roulette technique on laid paper. The monochrome palette, with its contrasting white and black tones, adds to the timeless and evocative nature of the artwork. Originally from Austria, this etching is now part of the esteemed collection at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. It is a testament to the enduring power of religious art and the rich heritage it brings to our cultural landscape. The Rest on the Flight into Egypt by Paul Troger is a poignant reminder of the importance of family, motherhood, and the journey of life. It invites us to reflect on the stories of our past and the values that continue to shape our world today.
