About the piece

Painted in 1915 by French artist Edmond Tapissier, this oil on canvas captures the biblical Flight into Egypt with profound atmospheric depth. The composition is defined by its sophisticated low-light palette and the ethereal glow of the central figure's halo, which provides a striking contrast against the dark, textured canopy of the landscape.
