Description: | The Flight into Egypt, although not an episode described in the New Testament, held great appeal for Netherlandish artists because it provided a good opportunity for combining charming figure groups with attractive landscapes. Brueghel, who excelled at landscape, sometimes collaborated with other artists who painted the figure groups. The figures in this painting appear to be the work of Hans Rottenhammer, a German artist whom Brueghel first met in Rome around 1593-95. | Subjects: | religion (Holy Family; Flight into Egypt; angels); landscape; figure; animal (donkey) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Brueghel, Jan, the elder (Flemish painter, draftsman, 1568-1625) Æ Attributed to Attributed to Rottenhammer, Hans, I (German painter, 1564-1625) Previously attributed to Balen, Hendrik van, I (Flemish painter, 1575-1632) Previously attributed to Brueghel, Jan, the elder (Flemish painter, draftsman, 1568-1625) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8629... | Go to resource |
