Description
Return to Nazareth, 1735. Upon hearing rumor of a young king born to a virgin in Bethlehem, Herod, the ruler of Judea, jealously developed a plot to find and murder the infant Jesus. Fearing Herod's wrath, the Holy Family escaped to Egypt and eventually returned to Palestine-an echo of the great Exodus of the Old Testament. Conti trained in Rome but eventually made his career in Florence. Although the pale colours, balletic poses, and attenuated forms bear little resemblance to the other works along this wall, the sharp contrasts of dark and light, with figures emerging from deep shadow, attests to the long shadow of Caravaggio even in Florence a century later.. Creator James McNeill Whistler (American, 1834-1903). (Photo by Heritage Arts/Heritage Images via Getty Images)
