About the Item
17th century, Emilian school, Pamigianino painter
Rest on the flight to Egypt
Oil on panel, 46 x 39 cm - with frame 55.5 x 48.5 cm
The work in question depicts the episode of the flight into Egypt of the Holy Family, one of the most loved and represented sacred episodes by painters over the centuries, despite the fact that the Gospel of Matthew dedicates very few references to it (Mt 2, vv. 13-15 ). On the other hand, the narratives on this subject contained in the apocryphal Gospels are more extensive, generous in details and anecdotes otherwise not foreseen (Historia monachorum in Aegypto; Arab-Syriac Gospel of Childhood; Pseudo Gospel of Matthew). The episode takes place chronologically in the first year of Christ's life, when King Herod threatens to kill all the firstborn; the Holy Family is thus forced to move, traveling across the Sinai desert to the city of Heliopolis. In the interpretation of the story, the artists usually distinguish two moments, a dynamic one, that is the real escape, with the Madonna on the back of a mule, and a more static one, as in the case in question, a pause on the way, a tender moment and intimate that is chosen both in painting and in sculpture to represent the feeling that pervades the scene and in this way approach the viewer.
Given the style and the chromatic composition, this is to be referred to a painter of the Emilian School of the seventeenth century, familiar with the painting of Girolamo Francesco Maria Mazzola known as Parmigianino (Parma, 11 January 1503 - Casalmaggiore, 24 August 1540), as shown by the elongated and slender shapes of the child and the Virgin. A comparison can be made with the Madonna and Child with San Giovannino from the Capodimonte Museum in Naples, the Madonna with Child from the Doria Gallery in Rome and with Il Riposo during the flight into Egypt by an anonymous Emilian from the National Gallery of Parma.
