{"product_id":"the-flight-into-egypt-jacob-jordaens","title":"The Flight into Egypt - Jacob Jordaens","description":"\u003cp\u003eA classic Flemish Baroque depiction of the Holy Family by Jacob Jordaens, featuring dramatic lighting and characteristic tonal depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJacob Jordaens, a prominent figure in the Antwerp school, produced this depiction of the Holy Family during their journey to Egypt. The composition follows the conventions of Flemish Baroque painting, utilising dramatic light and shadow to define the figures against a darkened, atmospheric background. Saint Joseph stands to the right, holding a palm branch, while the Virgin Mary cradles the Christ Child to the left. The presence of putti in the upper section, amidst the foliage, introduces a sense of movement and celestial observation common in Jordaens's larger narrative works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe artist employs a palette dominated by earth tones, ochres, and deep shadows, which directs the viewer's attention to the central figures. The treatment of the drapery, with its heavy folds and tactile quality, demonstrates the technical proficiency characteristic of Jordaens's mature period. Unlike the more restrained compositions of his contemporaries, this work features a sense of physical presence and human warmth. The interaction between the figures is grounded, focusing on the domestic aspect of the biblical narrative rather than purely iconographic representation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJordaens often incorporated elements of nature into his religious scenes, and here the dense foliage serves to frame the family, creating a sense of enclosure. The inclusion of the donkey at the lower right edge provides a subtle reference to the arduous nature of their travels. This print captures the tonal range and the specific brushwork of the original oil painting, allowing for a detailed examination of the artist's approach to light and form. It is a representative example of the Flemish Baroque style, focusing on the emotional resonance of the subject matter through careful composition and a controlled use of chiaroscuro.\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\/portrait-of-charles-i-of-england-anthony-van-dyck\" 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;\"\u003ePortrait of Charles I of England - Anthony van Dyck — Anthony van Dyck\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/pastoral-landscape-with-the-ponte-molle-claude-lorrain\" 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;\"\u003ePastoral Landscape with the Ponte Molle - Claude Lorrain — Claude Lorrain\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Jacob Jordaens","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58442384769359,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58442415407439,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58442415440207,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58442415472975,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58442415505743,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58442415538511,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58442415571279,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58442415604047,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58442415636815,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58442415669583,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58442415702351,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58442415735119,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/The-Flight-into-Egypt_Poster_CompositorV1_1786209249029.jpg?v=1786396672","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/the-flight-into-egypt-jacob-jordaens","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
