Painting Description
"Rest on the Flight into Egypt" is a notable panel from the Grabow Altarpiece, created by the German painter Bertram of Minden, also known as Master Bertram. This altarpiece, completed around 1379-1383, is one of the most significant works of medieval art in Northern Germany, reflecting the transition from the Gothic to the early Renaissance style. The altarpiece was originally commissioned for St. Petri Church in Hamburg and is now housed in the Hamburger Kunsthalle.
The "Rest on the Flight into Egypt" panel depicts a serene moment during the Holy Family's escape to Egypt, as recounted in the Gospel of Matthew. The scene captures the Virgin Mary, the infant Jesus, and Saint Joseph pausing in their journey. Master Bertram's depiction is characterized by its detailed and expressive figures, as well as its rich use of color and gold leaf, which were typical of the period's religious art.
In this panel, the Virgin Mary is often shown seated, tenderly holding the Christ Child, while Joseph stands protectively nearby. The background typically features a landscape that, while stylized, provides a sense of depth and context to the narrative. The use of symbolism is prevalent, with elements such as the palm tree and the stream often included to signify refuge and sustenance provided by divine intervention.
Master Bertram's work is distinguished by its emotional depth and the delicate interplay of light and shadow, which enhances the spiritual atmosphere of the scene. The artist's attention to detail and his ability to convey the humanity and divinity of the Holy Family have made this panel a subject of admiration and study among art historians.
The Grabow Altarpiece, including the "Rest on the Flight into Egypt" panel, represents a critical moment in the development of Northern European art. It bridges the gap between the medieval focus on religious iconography and the emerging Renaissance interest in naturalism and human emotion. This work not only serves as a devotional object but also as a testament to the artistic and cultural currents of 14th-century Germany.
