EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail from Lucas Cranach the Elder's woodcut, "Rest on the Flight into Egypt". Created during the 15th and 16th centuries, this artwork transports us to an era of Renaissance beauty. At its heart lies a cherubic boy, surrounded by an enchanting scene. The young boy, with delicate wings sprouting from his back, sits atop an oak branch. His angelic presence is accentuated by his serene expression as he plays a flute-like recorder. The intricate details in this woodcut bring forth the skillful craftsmanship of Cranach himself. As we delve deeper into this image, we are transported to ancient Egypt where Mary and Joseph sought refuge with baby Jesus. This moment of respite amidst their arduous journey is beautifully captured here. The restful atmosphere is enhanced by the harmonious song emanating from the flutist cherubim. Cranach's masterful use of lines and shading brings life to every element within this woodcut: from the texture of each feather on the cherubim's wings to the intricate patterns adorning their clothing. It serves as a testament to German Renaissance artistry at its finest. This print invites us to appreciate not only Cranach's talent but also transports us back in time to witness a peaceful moment during one of history's most significant journeys.
