About the piece
In this 1880 work by Hans Thoma, the classic biblical narrative of the Flight into Egypt is reimagined with a luminous, atmospheric quality. An angel with dark, golden-tipped wings leads the procession through a sprawling landscape, while the figures of Mary, Joseph, and the infant Jesus are rendered with a tender, humanizing touch characteristic of late 19th-century European art.
