Andrea Pozzo’s oil-on-canvas ‘The Flight into Egypt’ is the focus of a daily-artwork post published on 5 September 2026. The entry identifies the work through its treatment of a biblical episode, describing a dynamic composition and a clear sense of theatricality.

Pozzo is presented as a prominent painter, architect and theorist of the Italian Baroque. Within the brief spotlight, those three roles frame an account centred on the painting itself rather than on biographical detail: its medium is oil on canvas, and its subject is rendered through movement and theatrical emphasis.

The post names the work in Spanish as ‘La huida a Egipto’ and credits Pozzo as its author.
