This red chalk drawing by Simone Cantarini, known for his work in the Baroque style, depicts the biblical scene of the angel appearing to Saint Joseph and urging him to flee to Egypt with Mary and the baby Jesus. The drawing's loose, gestural lines capture the movement and drama of the event, with the angel's wings, Joseph's gesture of surprise, and Mary's serene pose adding to the visual storytelling. This work, housed in the Städel Museum, demonstrates Cantarini's ability to translate religious themes into dynamic compositions, exemplifying the artistic trends of the 17th century.
