Flight into Egypt

Hi everyone, my name is Isabella! Are you ready for an adventure? Today, we're going on a journey through a painting! nn This painting is called "Flight into Egypt." It tells the story of a very special family who had to travel far, far away to keep their baby safe. Can you guess who they are? That's right, it's Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus! nn Look closely at the painting. What do you see?



nn Do you see the bright colors? The artist, Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, used these colors to make the painting feel calm and peaceful, even though the family is on a dangerous journey. nn Look at Mary. She's holding baby Jesus very gently. Don't you think she looks like a loving mommy? nn And who's that strong angel helping them? He's making sure their boat glides smoothly through the water.



nn See how the angel's wings are spread wide? It's like he's pushing the boat along! The artist painted the wings to look like they're really moving. nn Look at all the details in the painting! Can you see the ripples in the water? What about the trees and plants in the background? The artist wanted to show us how beautiful and peaceful nature can be, even when times are tough.



nn This painting is like a window into the past, showing us a story from long, long ago. It reminds us that even when things are difficult, there's always hope and beauty to be found. nn I hope you enjoyed our journey through this amazing painting! Now, let's go explore the museum and see what other treasures we can discover!
