The Flight into Egypt in a Boat is a 1764–1770 oil on canvas painting by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, a variation on the Flight into Egypt theme featuring a boat rather than the more usual donkey. The two swans beside the boat are symbols of marital fidelity. It is now at the Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga in Lisbon.[1]
The Flight into Egypt in a Boat (1764–1770)
Descriptionedit
The painting is a variation of the theme of the flight into Egypt made by the Holy Family: here in fact the usual donkey does not appear but in its place there is a boat, on which are Joseph, Mary and Jesus. The boat is guided with touches delicate by three angels, who are preparing to land on the Egyptian coasts. In the water we see two swans which are the allegory of marital fidelity.[2]
