It has mobilized the largest firm in cross ever organized in France before arriving here on the walls of the Museumafter a funny incredible scientific adventure. Presented at the heart of an exhibition cleverly organized in just six months, La Fuite en Egypte, The Flight into Egypt, painted by Nicolas Poussin in 1657, initially surprised by its small size (133 x 97 cm), compared to other works presented (ten Poussin and many works of the seventeenth around this theme, including a superb Philippe de Champaigne). We imagined a fresco wise and solemn, as the painting by Poussin (1594-1665) keeps this label tenacious scholarship to Fear, or at least intimidating. It finds a delicate, prima facie accessible and the weighted gradient colors.  The Flight into Egypt tells this dramatic episode of the Gospel - concomitant of the massacre of innocents - in which Mary and Joseph fleeing death threat hanging over Jesus as King Herod, having learned the birth of the Messiah, has ordered the execution of all males under the age of 2.
