Repose in Egypt, Holy Family seated while an angel pulls at tree branches, copy after Cantarini 1632 - 1642

"Repose in Egypt" is an etching by Simone Cantarini, a prominent artist of the Baroque period. The artwork depicts the Holy Family, Mary, Joseph, and the infant Jesus, resting under a tree in a landscape setting. An angel is pulling branches of the tree toward the Holy Family, symbolizing their divine protection. Cantarini's precise rendering of the figures and the delicate details of the natural setting are characteristic of his style. The etching is a copy of a painting by Cantarini, which suggests it was intended to disseminate the original work to a wider audience.
