About the piece
Painted around 1685 by the Dutch artist Adam Colonia, this work captures the Flight into Egypt with a masterly focus on atmospheric night lighting. The composition is defined by a luminous full moon breaking through towering clouds, illuminating a rugged rocky outcrop and a quiet riverbank where the Holy Family journeys through the darkness.
