O descanso na fuga ao Egito

Gerard David Netherlandish
ca. 1512–15
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 605
Esta composição, que é um dos temas mais comuns na pintura holandesa, propõe uma narrativa contínua em que o observador participa por meio da reflexão. No fundo é possível ver uma figura da Sagrada Família que emerge da floresta em direção a uma cidade contemporânea, situada no vale à esquerda. A nova percepção adquirida de David acerca das regras de composição renascentistas é evidente no desenho da pirâmide da Virgem e o Menino com o uso de claro-escuro para comunicar o volume de formas.
