About the piece

Painted in 1828 by Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld, this work captures the Flight into Egypt with the vibrant clarity characteristic of the Nazarene movement. The composition features Mary and the Christ child centrally on a donkey, guided by a youthful angel and accompanied by Joseph, set against a vast landscape that transitions from craggy foreground rocks to distant, glowing alpine peaks at sunset.
