About the piece
This 1750 oil painting captures the urgent departure of the Holy Family for Egypt. The composition is energized by a large, winged angel in billowing pink drapery who leads the donkey, while Mary and Joseph prepare for the journey against the backdrop of a rustic, rustic shelter. The work is defined by its masterful use of light and energetic, painterly technique.
