Description: | In the rocky foreground of a sweeping landscape, are the Virgin and Child, left, and St Joseph and a donkey, right. The Virgin, dressed in a long white dress, white hood, and long dark-blue cloak, is seated on a mound, the infant Christ, dressed in a white robe, but his lower half exposed, upright on her lap. She clasps him with her right hand, while with her left she reaches up to grasp fruit from a tree. She has long red tresses and downcast eyes. St Joseph, dressed in vivid red robes, kneels by a pool, in which his reflection can be seen. Beside him, a donkey bends to take water. Clumps of flowers in the foreground; peasants harvesting wheat, imposing stone buildings and hills in the distance behind. | Subjects: | religion (Flight into Egypt) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Master of the Prado Adoration of the Magi (Netherlandish painter, active ca. 1470-1480) Æ Attributed to Previously attributed to Memling, Hans (early Netherlandish painter, ca.1433-1494) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8755... | Go to resource |
