{"product_id":"the-flight-into-egypt-doen-pietersz","title":"The Flight into Egypt - Doen Pietersz.","description":"\u003cp\u003eA hand-coloured woodcut from the early sixteenth century depicting the Flight into Egypt, attributed to the Dutch printer Doen Pietersz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis hand-coloured woodcut depicts the biblical narrative of the Flight into Egypt. The composition shows the Virgin Mary holding the infant Jesus, seated upon a donkey, while Joseph leads the animal forward. The scene is set against a stylised rocky backdrop, typical of early sixteenth-century Dutch printmaking. The artist, Doen Pietersz., was a publisher and printer active in Amsterdam during the early decades of the sixteenth century. His work often appeared in devotional books, where woodcuts provided visual aids for prayer and meditation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe print exhibits the characteristic bold, graphic lines of the woodcut medium. The application of colour, likely added by hand shortly after the impression was pulled, enhances the legibility of the figures. Mary is draped in a traditional blue mantle, while Joseph is depicted in a warm, earthy red garment. The halo surrounding the Virgin is rendered with radiating lines, a common convention in Northern Renaissance art to denote sanctity. The inclusion of the donkey serves to ground the narrative in the physical journey, contrasting with the spiritual weight of the figures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece reflects the production methods of the period, where small-scale prints were integrated into bound volumes. The visible texture of the paper and the slight irregularities in the hand-colouring provide evidence of its historical context as a functional, mass-produced object for a literate, religious audience. The work remains a clear example of the visual culture of the Low Countries during the Reformation era, where such imagery was widely circulated to support personal piety. The print is notable for its economy of form and directness, prioritising narrative clarity over atmospheric perspective.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/nadab-and-abihu-consumed-by-fire-veit-rudolf-specklin\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eNadab and Abihu Consumed by Fire - Veit Rudolf Specklin — Veit Rudolf Specklin\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/the-destruction-of-sodom-reverse-of-madonna-and-child-albrecht-durer\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Destruction of Sodom (Reverse of Madonna and Child) - Albrecht Dürer — Albrecht Dürer\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Doen Pietersz.","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58595839574351,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58595850256719,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58595850289487,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58595850322255,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58595850355023,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58595850387791,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58595850420559,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58595850453327,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58595850486095,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58595850518863,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58595850551631,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58595850584399,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/The-Flight-into-Egypt_Poster_CompositorV1_1787954488739.jpg?v=1787955143","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/the-flight-into-egypt-doen-pietersz","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
