Ruïnelandschap met de vlucht naar Egypte 1634 - 1693

This etching, "Ruïnelandschap met de vlucht naar Egypte" (Ruined Landscape with the Flight to Egypt), created by Dutch artist Jonas Umbach (1624-1693), depicts a dramatic scene of Roman ruins amidst a lush landscape. The detailed, delicate lines of the etching capture the crumbling grandeur of the ancient structures, while the figures of the Holy Family, fleeing to Egypt, add a sense of historical and religious significance. This piece showcases Umbach's mastery of etching and provides a compelling visual commentary on the passage of time and the enduring power of faith. The artwork is currently part of the Rijksmuseum collection.
