EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Rest on the Flight into Egypt with Saddled Donkey, 1871" by Rodolphe Bresdin takes us back to the enchanting world of 19th-century art. Displayed in the prestigious Art Institute of Chicago, this antique masterpiece showcases Bresdin's exceptional talent for etching and drawing. The scene depicted is a biblical one - the Holy Family seeking refuge during their flight into Egypt. Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus are portrayed with utmost tenderness as they rest under a tree while a saddled donkey stands nearby. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his lithograph etching transfer on cream china paper laid down on white wove paper. Bresdin's work beautifully captures the essence of Christian faith and devotion. The serene expressions on Mary and Joseph's faces convey their trust in divine providence amidst adversity. The innocence of baby Jesus adds an ethereal touch to this poignant depiction. As we gaze upon this historic piece, we are transported to another time and place - France in the 19th century. It serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and invites contemplation about timeless themes such as love, family, faith, and resilience. This exhibition at the Art Institute allows visitors to immerse themselves in Bresdin's artistic vision while appreciating his mastery of lithography techniques. This print truly encapsulates both beauty and spirituality within its monochromatic frame – an enduring testament to Rodolphe Bresdin's contribution to art history.
