Painting Description
The "Flight to Egypt" is a notable painting created in 1474 by the Italian Renaissance artist Cosme Tura. This work is a part of the predella of the Roverella Polyptych, a significant altarpiece commissioned for the Roverella family chapel in the church of San Giorgio fuori le mura in Ferrara, Italy. Cosme Tura, a leading figure of the Ferrarese School, is renowned for his distinctive style that combines Gothic intricacy with early Renaissance naturalism, and this painting exemplifies his unique artistic vision.
The "Flight to Egypt" depicts the biblical narrative of the Holy Family's escape to Egypt to evade King Herod's massacre of the innocents. Tura's rendition captures the urgency and solemnity of the moment, with the Virgin Mary holding the infant Jesus, both mounted on a donkey, while Joseph leads the way. The composition is marked by its meticulous attention to detail and the use of vivid, yet harmonious colors that bring the scene to life. The landscape in the background, characterized by its rocky outcrops and winding paths, reflects Tura's ability to blend fantastical elements with a sense of realism.
This painting, like much of Tura's work, is distinguished by its intricate linearity and the almost sculptural quality of the figures, which are rendered with a heightened sense of drama and emotion. The "Flight to Egypt" not only serves as a devotional image but also as a testament to Tura's skill in conveying complex narratives through his art.
The Roverella Polyptych, of which this painting is a part, was dismantled in the 18th century, and its panels were dispersed. Today, the "Flight to Egypt" is housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, where it continues to be admired for its artistic and historical significance. The painting remains an important example of Cosme Tura's contribution to the Italian Renaissance and his role in the development of Ferrarese art.
