Presenting a quite rare 1993 Original Luc Olivier Merson, "Rest on the Flight into Egypt", (1879 Oil on canvas) Poster..
Marked "Bequest of George Golding Kennedy. Photograph © Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. 01/93"
A haunting & iconic biblical scene by Luc-Olivier Merson, a French academic painter known for his mystical and symbolist works. In this 1879 masterpiece, the Holy Family rests in the shadow of the Great Sphinx, under a desolate twilight sky. The image blends Christian narrative with ancient myth, creating a surreal and contemplative mood unlike any traditional nativity portrayal.
Poster condition remains really great as you see!!
Measures a huge 24" X 36 1/2"!!!
Was found in a 4" cardboard mailing tube dated 1993, and it appears it might have resided in this tube since it's original purchase..
Quite Crisp & New Looking!
Please take a good look at the numerous photos!
A few faint crinkles at some edges (top left mostly), but this can hardly be discerned really...
Really, Really Great Condition with no other real scars, gross crinkles, blemishes or other flaws of note!!
Today, "MFA Boston Prints" sells this mystical themed poster, at the smaller 24" X 30" size - for $260, but this poster is the larger original 1993 exhibit poster, measuring a huge 24" X 36 1/2"!!
$15 for secure 4" tube shipping.
Best of Luck!!
