An angel is leading Joseph with the Virgin Mary and the newborn baby Jesus to safety in Egypt. Joseph had been warned in a dream that King Herod was looking for the baby Jesus to kill him. The picture\'s rich colours and dramatic lighting are typical of Italian Baroque painting of the 17th century. In characteristic Baroque style, the large-scale figures seem almost about to step out of the frame.); Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums.
