Description:

This painting, titled "Flight into Egypt", is a panel from the Schotten Altarpiece, a late Gothic altarpiece created around 1490 by an unknown German artist associated with the Master of the Schotten Altarpiece. It portrays the biblical scene of the Holy Family’s escape to Egypt to avoid King Herod's persecution. The Virgin Mary is seated on a donkey, cradling the infant Jesus in her arms, while Saint Joseph walks ahead, guiding the animal with a staff. The background features a detailed medieval cityscape under a twilight sky, which anachronistically situates the biblical narrative within a contemporary European setting. The work is rich in symbolism and reflects the stylistic transition from the late Gothic to early Renaissance.
