Painting Description
"The Rest on the Flight into Egypt" is a panel painting that forms part of the Grabow Altarpiece, a notable work of late medieval art created in 1383 by the German painter known as Master Bertram, or Master of Minden. This panel is one of several that depict scenes from the life of Christ, and it illustrates the biblical episode where the Holy Family rests during their flight to Egypt to escape King Herod's Massacre of the Innocents.
The painting is executed in tempera on oak and showcases the Gothic style that was prevalent in Northern European art during the 14th century. Master Bertram's work is characterized by its detailed narrative and emotional expressiveness, which are evident in this panel. The scene typically portrays the Virgin Mary with the Christ Child, often accompanied by Joseph, in a serene landscape that may include angels and sometimes miracles occurring in their presence.
The Grabow Altarpiece, originally located in the church of St. Nicholas in Grabow, Germany, is considered a masterpiece of Master Bertram's oeuvre and an important example of North German Gothic art. The altarpiece is named after the town of Grabow and was commissioned by the councilman Hinrich von Wedel. Today, the panels of the altarpiece, including "The Rest on the Flight into Egypt," are housed in the Hamburger Kunsthalle in Hamburg, Germany.
The panel not only serves as a religious icon but also provides insight into the artistic conventions and theological concerns of the time. Its depiction of the Holy Family's vulnerability and divine protection resonated with medieval audiences and continues to be a subject of interest for art historians and the faithful alike. The work's historical significance, craftsmanship, and place within the narrative cycle of the altarpiece contribute to its enduring legacy in the canon of European art.
