Flight to Egypt by Bartolome Esteban Murillo

Full of restrained drama, this canvas can be considered one of the best in Murilho. Ponuro wanders tired donkey.

The Mother of God and Christ, quietly sleeping on Her hands, are illuminated by a ray of the moon, emphasizing the pallor of the face of the Virgin Mary. Joseph, by contrast, is almost hidden in the shadows. Only his eyes, anxiously gazing upon his small family, glitter anxiously in the dark.
