The Rest on the Flight into Egypt
Artist: Gerard David (Netherlandish, c. 1460 - 1523)
Date: c. 1510
Medium: Oil on panel
Collection: National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC, United States
Description
The short biblical account of the Flight into Egypt (Matt. 2:13–14) was elaborated upon by Early Christian and medieval theologians. In one of these writings, the weary family paused during their journey after three days of travel. The Virgin longed for food, but the date–palm branches were too high for Joseph to pick any fruit. Thereupon Jesus commanded the tree to lower its branches.

Alexander and Bucephalus
Artist: Edgar Degas (French, 1834-1917)
Date: 1861-1862
Medium: Oil on canvas
Collection: National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC, United States
Description
Bucephalus was the legendary, untamable black charger of Alexander the Great, which a 12-year-old Alexander successfully mastered by realizing the horse feared its own shadow. The horse carried Alexander through countless battles across Asia for over 20,000 miles before dying in 326 B.C.E. following the Battle of Hydaspes, prompting Alexander to build the city of Bucephala in its honor.
Here’s my first post! Just a little something to start out with. I like seeing the stars, but there’s a lot of light pollution where I am, so I don’t see them as often as I’d like.
