About the piece
Painted around 1637 by Simone Cantarini, this work captures a moment of quiet intimacy for the Holy Family during their flight into Egypt. While Saint Joseph rests in the deep shadows of the forest to the left, the composition focuses on the radiant figures of the Madonna and Child, showcasing the artist's refined Italian Baroque style and sophisticated use of chiaroscuro.
