Painting Description
"The Flight into Egypt 3" is a notable work by the German painter Adam Elsheimer, who was active during the late Renaissance and early Baroque periods. Elsheimer, renowned for his small-scale, highly detailed paintings, often depicted religious and mythological subjects with a remarkable sense of lighting and atmosphere. This particular painting, which is one of several versions Elsheimer created on the theme of the Flight into Egypt, illustrates the biblical episode described in the Gospel of Matthew (2:13-15), where the Holy Family flees to Egypt to escape King Herod's Massacre of the Innocents.
Created circa 1609, this oil on copper artwork measures 31 cm × 41 cm (12 in × 16 in) and is known for its intricate depiction of the nocturnal journey. Elsheimer's mastery in rendering the effects of light is evident in the way he captures the moonlight filtering through the trees and reflecting off the figures, creating a sense of divine guidance and protection over the vulnerable family. The painting's composition is both dynamic and intimate, with the landscape playing a significant role in setting the scene and mood.
"The Flight into Egypt 3" is celebrated for its innovative use of chiaroscuro and its influence on subsequent artists, particularly in the Northern European tradition. Elsheimer's work had a profound impact on his contemporaries and later generations, inspiring artists such as Rembrandt and Claude Lorrain. The painting is held in high regard not only for its technical brilliance but also for its emotional resonance and the way it conveys the perilous yet hopeful journey of Mary, Joseph, and the infant Jesus.
This piece is part of Elsheimer's critical contribution to the development of landscape painting and nocturnal scenes in Western art. It is housed in the Alte Pinakothek in Munich, Germany, where it continues to be studied and admired for its historical significance and artistic beauty.
