About the piece
Painted in 1881 by the Brazilian master José Ferraz de Almeida Júnior, this work offers a humanizing and atmospheric take on the biblical Flight into Egypt. The soft, luminous sky contrasts beautifully with the grounded, weary figures of Mary, Joseph, and the infant Jesus as they pause by a shallow pool in a moment of quiet reflection.
