Vlucht naar Egypte before 1558

Hieronymus Cock's engraving "Vlucht naar Egypte" (Flight into Egypt) is a detailed depiction of the biblical story. The print is set in a picturesque landscape with a fortified hilltop town and a working mill, suggesting the hardship and danger of Mary and Joseph's journey. Cock's masterful use of hatching and cross-hatching create a sense of depth and texture, adding realism to the scene. The engraving was created before 1558, showcasing the artistry of the Flemish printmaker during the 16th century.
