About the piece
Commissioned in 1664 by the noted Baroque master Carlo Maratta, this exquisite oil painting on copper depicts the Holy Family's flight into Egypt. The composition is filled with movement and light, as Mary in her iconic blue mantle and Joseph in golden robes are guided across a stream by a host of playful cherubs descending from luminous clouds. The work demonstrates the artist's refined technique and his ability to blend divine subject matter with a warm, human intimacy.
