El descanso en la huida a Egipto

Gerard David Netherlandish
ca. 1512–15
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 605
Esta obra, que desarrolla uno de los temas más populares de la pintura flamenca, pretende instar al espectador a participar en los episodios de la narración. Al fondo, la Sagrada Familia emerge del bosque y se dirige hacia una ciudad medieval situada en el valle a la izquierda. La composición piramidal de la Virgen y el Niño, y el uso del claroscuro para dar volumen a las formas, hacen patente que David en esa época ya era consciente de las convenciones del Renacimiento italiano.
