About the piece

Painted in 1643 by Paulus van Vianen, this oil on canvas captures the 'Rest on the Flight to Egypt' with a delicate balance of intimate human emotion and expansive nature. The vibrant red and blue of Mary's robes draw the eye centrally, while the atmospheric light filtering through the trees on the right showcases the artist's mastery of landscape and light.
