The flight into Egypt: small after 1633

This small etching, titled "The Flight into Egypt," was created after 1633 by an unknown artist. Depicting the biblical story of the Holy Family's escape from Herod, the print captures the journey on a donkey through a rugged landscape, emphasizing the arduousness of the flight. This intimate portrayal of a pivotal moment in Christian history, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the devotional art popular in the 17th century.
