Vlucht naar Egypte 1620 - 1664

"Vlucht naar Egypte" (Flight into Egypt) is an etching by Italian artist Stefano della Bella, created between 1620 and 1664. This small, yet detailed print, depicts the biblical story of the Holy Family's escape to Egypt, with a focus on the Madonna and child, positioned on a donkey, surrounded by a halo of angels. The composition highlights the sacredness of the event, placing Mary and Jesus at the center, surrounded by angelic figures, a visual representation of divine protection. The etching is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
