About The Return of the Holy Family from Egypt
Unusually, this painting portrays the Holy Family's Return from Egypt, rather than the more typical Flight into Egypt. This is indicated by the Egyptian landscape in the background, which the Holy Family are travelling away from, rather than towards. The obelisk and pyramid in the distance would have been well-known funerary symbols; along with the putto holding the Cross, they allude to the Christ child's future sacrifice. The pyramid is most probably based on the ancient Pyramid of Cestius in Rome. The figure in the boat may also be an allusion to Christ's sacrifice, recalling the ferryman Charon, who, in classical myth, rowed souls across the river Styx to the Underworld.About the Large Art Prints
