The Holy Family in Egypt c. 1660

"The Holy Family in Egypt" by Charles Lebrun, painted around 1660, depicts the biblical scene of the Holy Family's flight to Egypt. The painting is set in a serene landscape, with a palm tree and other foliage framing the figures. The Virgin Mary is shown kneeling in prayer, while Joseph and the Christ child are seated nearby. The work is a classic example of Lebrun's style, characterized by its realism and emotional depth. The composition is balanced and harmonious, with a sense of serenity and peace.
