About the artwork:

This painting depicts the biblical story of the Holy Family's flight into Egypt, a theme commonly explored in Christian art which symbolizes refuge and salvation. Portinari's version likely presents a unique perspective, perhaps reflecting his sensitivity to issues of hardship and displacement — themes that resonate deeply within his broader body of work which often addressed the struggles of the Brazilian people.
