# The Flight into Egypt [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [CARPACCIO, Vittore]() - Date: 1501-1550 - Technique: Tempera on wood, 72 x 111 cm ## Commentary The Flight into Egypt c. 1515 Tempera on wood, 72 x 111 cm National Gallery of Art, Washington The sense of danger and urgency is subordinated, as often in Renaissance painting, to the charme of incidental detail. The artist shows a clear debt to Giovanni Bellini, one of the leading Venetian painters. Note that the landscape, which traditionally had always been an accessory to figure groups, in this case dominates the composition and determines the mood and character of the whole. \*\*\* Keywords: \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* Author: CARPACCIO, Vittore Title: The Flight into Egypt Time-line: 1501-1550 School: Italian Form: painting Type: religious ## Related artworks - [Agony in the Garden]() - [Apotheosis of St Ursula \(detail\)]() - [Apotheosis of St Ursula]() - [Arrival of the English Ambassadors \(detail\)]() - [Arrival of the English Ambassadors \(detail\)]() - [Arrival of the English Ambassadors \(detail\)]() - [Arrival of the English Ambassadors \(detail\)]() - [Arrival of the English Ambassadors \(detail\)]() - [Arrival of the English Ambassadors \(detail\)]() - [Arrival of the English Ambassadors]() - [Baptism of the Selenites \(detail\)]() - [Birth of the Virgin]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
