Flight into Egypt, choir screen, Cathedrale Notre-Dame

Flight into Egypt, painted carved section of the North choir screen, between the ambulatory and the sanctuary, carved 1300-50, by Pierre de Chelle, Jean Ravy and Jean Le Bouteiller, in the Cathedrale Notre-Dame de Paris, or Notre-Dame cathedral, built 1163-1345 in French Gothic style, on the Ile de la Cite in the 4th arrondissement of Paris, France. Mary rides on a donkey carrying the infant Jesus, sharing a tender loving moment with him, while Joseph walks ahead, glancing behind to check whether they are followed. On the left is the Massacre of the Innocents and on the right, idols fall away. Picture by Manuel Cohen
