Bartolomeo Biscaino. Rest on the Flight into Egypt. 1627–1657. Italy. Etching printed in reddish brown on paper This tender scene depicts the Holy Family resting, while an angel picks fruit from a tree for the Virgin. The elegance of the twisting, attenuated figures reflects the influence of Biscaino’s teacher, Valerio Gastello, but it also recalls the Mannerist etching style of Parmigianino.
