Painting Description
"Rest during the Flight into Egypt" (1423) is a notable work by the Italian painter Gentile da Fabriano, a master of the International Gothic style. This painting is part of a larger body of work that showcases Gentile's intricate and decorative style, characterized by its elegant figures and detailed landscapes, which were influential in the development of Italian Renaissance art.
The artwork depicts the biblical episode of the Holy Family—Mary, Joseph, and the infant Jesus—taking rest during their flight to Egypt to escape King Herod's Massacre of the Innocents, as recounted in the Gospel of Matthew (2:13-23). This theme was a popular subject in Christian art, symbolizing trust in divine providence and the protection of the innocent.
Gentile da Fabriano's rendition of this scene is celebrated for its rich iconography and the use of lustrous colors and gold leaf, which create a sense of divinity and otherworldliness. The figures are rendered with grace and serenity, set against a landscape that reflects the natural beauty of the world, yet also includes fantastical elements that were typical of the Gothic imagination.
The painting is a tempera on panel, a common medium of the time, which allowed for the detailed and precise application of pigment that is evident in the work. "Rest during the Flight into Egypt" is not only a religious representation but also an example of the artist's ability to convey narrative and emotion through composition and the use of light.
As of the knowledge cutoff date, the painting is part of the collection of the Galleria Nazionale dell'Umbria in Perugia, Italy. It continues to be studied and admired for its historical significance and its place within the oeuvre of Gentile da Fabriano, who is considered one of the foremost painters of the early 15th century.
