"The Flight into Egypt (detail 2)" is a notable segment of a larger altarpiece created by the Flemish painter Melchior Broederlam between 1393 and 1399. Broederlam, who was active during the late 14th century, is renowned for his contributions to the International Gothic style, characterized by its intricate detail, vibrant colors, and elegant figures. This particular detail is part of the Dijon Altarpiece, also known as the Retable de Champmol, which was commissioned by Philip the Bold, Duke of Burgundy, for the Chartreuse de Champmol, a Carthusian monastery near Dijon, France.

The altarpiece itself is a polyptych, consisting of several panels that depict various scenes from the life of the Virgin Mary and the infancy of Christ. "The Flight into Egypt" illustrates the biblical narrative in which Joseph, Mary, and the infant Jesus flee to Egypt to escape King Herod's massacre of the innocents. Broederlam's depiction is celebrated for its meticulous attention to detail, the use of rich, luminous colors, and the incorporation of both naturalistic and symbolic elements.

In this detail, Broederlam masterfully blends Gothic architectural elements with a lush, almost fantastical landscape. The figures are rendered with a delicate grace, their expressions and gestures conveying a sense of urgency and divine protection. The use of gold leaf and fine brushwork highlights the luxuriousness and spiritual significance of the scene. The landscape, with its rolling hills and detailed flora, serves not only as a backdrop but also as a symbolic representation of the journey and the divine guidance that accompanies the Holy Family.

Broederlam's work on the Dijon Altarpiece, including "The Flight into Egypt," is considered a pivotal moment in the transition from medieval to early Renaissance art in Northern Europe. His ability to combine narrative clarity with decorative richness has earned him a lasting place in the history of art. The altarpiece remains a significant example of the International Gothic style and continues to be studied for its artistic and historical value.
