"Life of the Virgin 14. The Rest during the Flight to Egypt" is a notable woodcut created by the renowned German artist Albrecht Dürer. This work is part of Dürer's larger series known as the "Life of the Virgin," which consists of 20 woodcuts that depict various episodes from the life of the Virgin Mary. Created between 1500 and 1511, these woodcuts are celebrated for their intricate detail, masterful composition, and the emotional depth they bring to the biblical narrative.

"The Rest during the Flight to Egypt" captures a moment of respite for the Holy Family as they flee to Egypt to escape King Herod's decree to kill all young male children. In this scene, Dürer portrays the Virgin Mary seated under a tree, tenderly holding the infant Jesus. Joseph is depicted nearby, gathering dates from a palm tree, symbolizing sustenance and divine providence. The composition is rich with symbolic elements, such as the palm tree, which is often associated with victory and peace, and the serene landscape that underscores the theme of divine protection and tranquility amidst adversity.

Dürer's woodcut technique is evident in the fine lines and detailed textures that bring the scene to life. His ability to convey depth and emotion through the medium of woodcut was groundbreaking at the time and remains influential in the history of printmaking. The "Life of the Virgin" series, including "The Rest during the Flight to Egypt," showcases Dürer's skill in combining Northern European attention to detail with Italian Renaissance principles of composition and perspective.

This particular woodcut not only reflects Dürer's technical prowess but also his deep engagement with religious themes and his ability to humanize sacred figures, making them accessible and relatable to viewers. "The Rest during the Flight to Egypt" stands as a testament to Dürer's artistic legacy and his contribution to the visual narrative of the Virgin Mary's life.
