About Artwork: (1923) "This vivid sketch by Tanner, the leading early 20th-century African American artist, is related to a larger composition (2001.402a). Tanner studied in Paris and resided in France—largely due to the systemic racism he encountered in the United States. As he declared in 1891, the year of his departure for Europe: "I cannot fight prejudice and paint at the same time." In the mid-1890s Tanner shifted to biblical themes familiar from his childhood; his father, Benjamin Tanner, was a bishop in the African Methodist Episcopal Church. Here, Tanner has represented the Holy Family’s escape from King Herod’s assassins (Matthew 2:12–14)—a narrative resonating with contemporary themes of personal freedom and mobility. On the back of this canvas is a study for Tanner’s prizewinning "Christ at the Home of Lazarus", painted around 1912 and now known only from photographs." - (The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York)
