The Holy Family, 1855, (1946). Artist: Rodolphe Bresdin
The Holy Family, 1855, (1946). Also known as The Flight into Egypt, we see Joseph, Mary and the Child Jesus sitting next to a river, surrounded by tall trees. Rodolphe Bresdin (1822-1885) was self-taught and restricted himself exclusively to drawing and printmaking. Very little of his work was understood or appreciated during his lifetime. His work is a discovery of the 20th century and is now recognised for its rare vision and technical expertise. From The Etchings of the French Impressionists and Their Contemporaries, by Edward T. Chase. [The Hyperion Press, Paris, 1946]

The Holy Family, 1855
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Rodolphe Bresdin is a captivating print that depicts the biblical scene of The Flight into Egypt. In this monochrome masterpiece, Joseph, Mary, and the Child Jesus are portrayed sitting peacefully next to a serene river amidst towering trees. Rodolphe Bresdin was an artist who dedicated himself solely to drawing and printmaking. Despite being self-taught, his work showcases exceptional technical expertise and a unique vision that remained largely unappreciated during his lifetime. However, it was in the 20th century that his art finally gained recognition as a remarkable discovery. This particular artwork exemplifies Bresdin's ability to capture both the religious significance of the subject matter and the beauty of nature surrounding it. The composition evokes a sense of tranquility and harmony as the holy family seeks refuge in their journey. "The Holy Family, 1855" invites viewers to reflect on themes of faith, family bonds, and divine protection while appreciating Bresdin's mastery in creating intricate details through lithography techniques. As we admire this black-and-white impressionist piece from the mid-19th century, we recognize its historical value within French art history. It serves as a testament to Bresdin's talent as well as an enduring symbol of Christianity's profound influence on artistic expression throughout centuries. This photograph print allows us to appreciate "The Holy Family" not only for its religious significance but also for its artistic merit—a true gem discovered by later generations who now celebrate Rodolphe Bresdin's extraordinary contribution to the world of art.
