EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Rest During the Flight into Egypt" created by artist Hans Thoma in 1897, we are transported back to a scene from biblical times. The image depicts the Holy Family's journey as they seek refuge in Egypt, escaping King Herod's wrath. Amidst the outskirts of Egypt, we see Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus taking a moment to rest during their arduous flight. Exhaustion is evident on their faces as they find solace under the shade of a tree. Mary sits gracefully with her weary eyes looking down at her precious child cradled in her arms while Joseph gazes upon them lovingly. The presence of an animal companion adds depth to this poignant scene - a donkey stands nearby, symbolizing strength and resilience throughout their challenging journey. This portrayal emphasizes both the physical exhaustion endured by the Holy Family and their unwavering faith. Thoma's monochrome depiction captures not only the weariness but also conveys a sense of peace amidst turmoil. Through his skilled brushwork, he brings forth emotions that resonate across time - reminding us of our own moments when we seek respite from life's trials. This remarkable print serves as a powerful reminder of devotion and sacrifice within Christianity while showcasing Thoma's artistic prowess in capturing human emotion through his work. It stands as an enduring testament to faith and endurance for generations to come.
