Madonna met kind tijdens de vlucht naar Egypte after 1642

This black and white engraving depicts a biblical scene of the Madonna and Child during the flight to Egypt, created by Hendrik Snyers after 1642. The composition portrays Mary cradling the Christ child, with a rocky landscape surrounding them. The scene is rendered in a highly detailed manner with a strong emphasis on light and shadow. The work is a classic example of the Baroque style. Snyers, a Flemish artist who specialized in landscapes, created this print to illustrate the story of the Holy Family's escape from King Herod.
