This etching by Sébastien Bourdon depicts 'The Rest in Egypt', showing the Holy Family in a moment of respite during their flight to Egypt. The detailed linework and classical composition are characteristic of Bourdon's style.
Sébastien Bourdon (1616-1671) was a French painter and engraver, known for his classical style and versatility across different genres, including portraiture, history painting, and decorative schemes. He spent time in Italy, absorbing influences from the Italian masters, and later became one of the original members of the Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture. His work often displays a concern for balanced composition and detailed execution. 'The Rest in Egypt' depicts a scene from the New Testament, where the Holy Family takes refuge in Egypt to escape King Herod's persecution. Mary, with the infant Jesus, sits on a stone structure, while Joseph is nearby, seemingly in contemplation. The setting includes palm trees and classical ruins, suggesting an exotic yet historically rich environment. The etching technique allows for fine lines and detailed textures, which Bourdon uses to create a sense of depth and atmosphere. The figures are rendered with careful attention to drapery and expression, conveying a sense of serenity and quietude.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
