"The Flight into Egypt (detail 1)" is a segment of an altarpiece created by the Early Netherlandish painter Melchior Broederlam between 1393 and 1399. This work is part of the larger Dijon Altarpiece, also known as the Champmol Altarpiece, which was commissioned by Philip the Bold, Duke of Burgundy, for the Carthusian monastery of Champmol near Dijon, France. Broederlam, who was active in the late 14th century, is renowned for his contributions to the International Gothic style, characterized by its elegant and intricate detailing, as well as its blend of naturalism and decorative elements.

The altarpiece itself is a polyptych, consisting of multiple panels that depict various scenes from the life of Christ and the Virgin Mary. "The Flight into Egypt" specifically illustrates the biblical episode in which Joseph, Mary, and the infant Jesus flee to Egypt to escape King Herod's massacre of the innocents. This scene is notable for its vivid portrayal of the Holy Family's journey, set against a richly detailed landscape that combines both naturalistic and fantastical elements.

Broederlam's work is distinguished by its meticulous attention to detail, vibrant color palette, and the use of tempera and oil paints, which were innovative techniques at the time. The artist's ability to convey depth and texture through his use of light and shadow is particularly evident in this piece. The landscape, with its rolling hills, winding paths, and lush vegetation, serves not only as a backdrop but also as a narrative element that enhances the sense of movement and urgency in the scene.

"The Flight into Egypt (detail 1)" exemplifies Broederlam's skill in integrating figures and landscape into a cohesive and harmonious composition. The delicate rendering of the figures, their expressive faces, and the intricate detailing of their garments reflect the influence of both Italian and Northern European artistic traditions. This work remains a significant example of late medieval art and provides valuable insight into the religious and cultural milieu of the Burgundian court at the turn of the 15th century.
