EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Bernardino Butinone's masterpiece, "The Flight into Egypt" created around 1485. The artwork takes us back to the 15th century, immersing us in a scene of profound significance and beauty. In this painting, we witness the holy family - Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus - fleeing from danger in their homeland. They seek refuge in Egypt as asylum seekers, escaping persecution and finding solace amidst unfamiliar surroundings. The artist skillfully captures the emotions of fear and determination on their faces as they traverse a mountain pass with a donkey by their side. The landscape surrounding them is breathtakingly depicted with majestic mountains and vibrant palm trees that symbolize hope and protection. As they journey through nature's wonders, an angel hovers above them like a guardian guiding their path. Butinone's attention to detail is evident throughout the painting; every brushstroke brings life to each character present. The tender bond between motherhood and infancy is beautifully portrayed as Mary cradles her precious child while Joseph stands protectively nearby. "The Flight into Egypt" not only serves as a testament to Butinone's artistic mastery but also reminds us of the timeless themes of resilience, faith, and compassion that resonate across centuries. This exceptional piece can be found at the Art Institute Chicago where it continues to inspire visitors with its rich historical context and artistic brilliance.
