| Description | It is tempting to suggest that the subject is the Flight into Egypt. The figure to the left of the donkey appears to have wings. Perhaps Mary is standing with the child, and Joseph, on the donkey, is pointing the way (although one expects Mary to be on the donkey and Joseph walking). The early seventeenth century was a period of transition in landscape painting from the inclusion of religious and mythological subject matter supported by a landscape background to the landscape becoming the sole subject of a picture. Grimaldi always included figures in his landscapes, usually indicating a religious or mythological subject, but the figures are small in comparison to the nature depicted, pointing to the future path landscape painting would take. |
