Flugten til Egypten 1880s

"Flugten til Egypten" (The Flight to Egypt) is an 1880s lithograph by Danish artist Adolph Kittendorff. The artwork depicts the biblical story of the Holy Family’s journey to Egypt to escape King Herod's persecution. Joseph is shown standing with a staff beside the donkey, while Mary sits and cradles Jesus. The image is characteristic of Kittendorff's style, which often focused on religious themes. This lithograph, now in the collection of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, is a poignant representation of a central moment in Christian tradition, emphasizing faith, protection, and hope.
