Lucas van Uden's "Landskab med flugten til Egypten" (Landscape with the Flight to Egypt) is a detailed etching that showcases his skill in capturing the beauty of the natural world. Created between 1595 and 1673, the artwork depicts a panoramic view of a river winding through a lush valley, with a distant town nestled amongst the hills. The foreground features a group of figures on horseback, their journey through the picturesque landscape echoing the biblical story of the Holy Family's flight to Egypt.
