Riposo durante la fuga in Egitto

Gerard David Netherlandish
ca. 1512–15
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 605
Questa composizione, che rappresenta uno dei temi più diffusi nella pittura olandese, propone una narrazione continua in cui si vuole che l’osservatore partecipi in modo riflesso. Sullo sfondo la Sacra Famiglia emerge dal bosco in cammino verso una cittadina contemporanea adagiata nella vallata a sinistra. La nuova consapevolezza acquisita da David delle regole compositive rinascimentali appare evidente nel disegno piramidale della Madonna col Bambino e nell’uso del chiaroscuro per comunicare il volume delle forme.
