Painting Description
"The Flight into Egypt: A Night Piece" is a 1651 etching by the Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn, depicting the biblical episode of the Holy Family's escape to Egypt. This work is one of several treatments of the theme by Rembrandt, who was known for his profound engagement with biblical subjects throughout his career. The etching is noted for its dramatic use of light and shadow, a technique that Rembrandt mastered and frequently employed to convey emotional depth and narrative intensity.
In this nocturnal scene, Rembrandt illustrates the moment when Joseph, Mary, and the infant Jesus flee from King Herod's decree to massacre all young male children in Bethlehem, as recounted in the Gospel of Matthew. The composition is characterized by a strong chiaroscuro, with the figures illuminated by a soft, divine light that contrasts with the surrounding darkness, symbolizing guidance and protection amidst peril.
Rembrandt's "The Flight into Egypt: A Night Piece" is considered an important work within his oeuvre of etchings, showcasing his skillful handling of the etching needle and his ability to achieve a wide range of tonal effects. The etching is held in various collections and has been the subject of scholarly attention for its artistic and iconographic significance. It reflects Rembrandt's innovative approach to traditional religious themes and his enduring influence on the art of etching.
