Claude Lorrain etched this biblical scene around 1630–1631; an impression is held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, depicting Joseph, Mary, and the infant Jesus journeying to safety after Herod's massacre of the innocents. It was a subject Claude returned to repeatedly over his career, in both paintings and prints, less as an exercise in narrative drama than as an occasion to build an expansive, atmospheric landscape around the small traveling family. The result is characteristic of his art: the sacred story recedes into a wider, sunlit vision of nature.
Jacquard-woven both sides in soft, durable yarn; insert included.

This is genuinely one of the nicest things we own now. It has become the thing I point to when people compliment the house. Our apartment gets almost no light until noon and it still reads clearly.
It landed on my porch in perfect condition two days early. Everything that makes The Flight into Egypt special survived the reproduction.
I ordered it on a Friday and it was here Monday. Owning The Flight into Egypt means more to me than generic art ever could, and Lorrain is part of that.
My husband spotted this months ago and I finally gave in. I have wanted something by Lorrain since college, and The Flight into Egypt was the one to get.
This is the best thing I have bought for the house all year. The tones across The Flight into Egypt are even and true right to the corners.
Thanks for this. Happy the colors landed the way they should, since that is the part we fuss over most.
