Landschap met vlucht naar Egypte 1700 - 1738

"Landschap met vlucht naar Egypte" is a 1700 - 1738 etching by the artist B. Chiboust. The etching depicts a scene from the biblical story of the Flight into Egypt, where the Holy Family flees from King Herod's decree to kill all male children under two years old. The landscape is rendered with great detail, featuring a winding path, a cascading waterfall, and lush trees. In the foreground, a small group of figures can be seen on a bridge. The distant background features a mountain range and a glimpse of a city in the distance. This artwork is a prime example of 18th-century landscape etching, known for its detailed, realistic depiction of the natural world.
