The Flight, Holy Family at the Right, Joseph Looking to the Left 1750 - 1753

"The Flight" is an etching by Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo, created between 1750 and 1753. The artwork depicts the biblical story of the Holy Family's flight to Egypt. Joseph is shown leading the donkey, on which Mary and the infant Jesus ride, while a goat leads the way. The figures are silhouetted against a bright, sunlit sky, creating a sense of drama and movement. The image is a testament to the artist's ability to capture the narrative in a dynamic and evocative way.
