About the piece
Painted around 1628, this work by the French master Nicolas Poussin depicts the Holy Family during their return from Egypt. The earthly scene of Joseph and Mary guiding the young Jesus toward a boat is juxtaposed with a heavenly vision of putti bearing a wooden cross amidst turbulent clouds. Poussin’s signature use of clear, primary colors and balanced classical composition elevates this biblical narrative into a timeless piece of Baroque art.
