This etching by Giovanni Battista Piranesi depicts the biblical story of the Flight into Egypt. The scene shows the Holy Family, Mary, Joseph, and the infant Jesus, as they journey towards Egypt. The image is full of detail, with a lush landscape in the background, and the figures are rendered with a realistic sense of movement and emotion. This etching is characteristic of Piranesi's work, which often combined historical and biblical themes, and it is a testament to his mastery of the etching technique.
