EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Norwegian painting from the 13th century, depicting the Flight to Egypt. The artwork is originally from the ceiling of Stave Church at Al in Hallingdal and is now housed in Universiteters Oldsaksamling in Oslo. The painting beautifully captures this significant biblical event, showcasing a vibrant array of colors that bring life to the scene. In the center, we see Mary holding baby Jesus while riding on a donkey, accompanied by Joseph as they embark on their journey to Egypt. This religious narrative holds great importance within Christianity as it symbolizes their escape from King Herod's wrath. The architectural features of the Stave Church are also visible in this piece, adding an extra layer of historical significance. The intricate details and craftsmanship displayed on both the church and its ceiling demonstrate Norway's rich cultural heritage. This artifact serves as a testament to Norway's deep-rooted connection with religion and artistry during medieval times. It stands as a reminder of how faith has shaped not only individuals but entire nations throughout history. Thanks to photographers CM Dixon and Mike Dixon, we can now appreciate this extraordinary piece without having to travel far. Their expertise allows us to delve into centuries-old masterpieces like this one, preserving our collective heritage for generations to come.
