Repos durant la fuite en Égypte

Gerard David Netherlandish

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 605

Sur un des thèmes les plus populaires de l’école flamande, cette composition propose au spectateur de participer par procuration au déroulement du récit. À l’arrière-plan, une vignette montre la Sainte Famille émergeant de la forêt, en route vers une ville contemporaine nichée dans une vallée, à gauche. La composition pyramidale formée par la Vierge et l’Enfant, de même que le recours au clair-obscur pour rendre les volumes, montrent que David connaissait les nouvelles conventions de la Renaissance italienne.
