Description: | The Virgin, with the Infant Jesus in her arms, sits under the shade of a peach tree and beside a large sunflower. Both are intently watching the gambols of eight angels. On extreme right, Joseph watches from behind. The Rest on the Flight to Egypt is a copy, perhaps eighteenth-century, after Anthony van Dyck's Vierge aux Perdrix, in the Hermitage, St. Petersburg. In this copy the partridges present in the original, which illustrate the banishment of the Devil by the Virgin, are missing. Other copies after this painting are known. | Subjects: | religion (The Rest on the Flight to Egypt) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Dyck, Anthony van (Flemish painter, 1599-1641, active in England) Æ After | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8796... | Go to resource |
