"Flucht nach Ägypten" (The Flight into Egypt) is a seminal artwork by the German painter Adam Elsheimer, created in 1609. This small oil painting on copper, measuring 31 x 41 cm, is renowned for its meticulous detail, innovative use of light, and its pivotal role in the development of nocturnal scenes in Western art. Elsheimer, born in Frankfurt in 1578 and active in Rome from 1600 until his untimely death in 1610, was a pivotal figure in the transition from Mannerism to Baroque. His influence extended to many of his contemporaries and successors, including Rembrandt and Rubens, who admired his ability to blend Northern European landscape sensibilities with Italianate figures and compositions.

"Flucht nach Ägypten" depicts the biblical episode of the Holy Family's escape to Egypt, a theme common in Christian art, yet Elsheimer's rendition is distinguished by its realism and the dramatic use of chiaroscuro. The painting is notable for its depiction of a night sky filled with stars, including a rendition of the Milky Way, a feature that was groundbreaking at the time. This attention to naturalism, combined with the intimate human portrayal of the Holy Family, marks a departure from the more stylized and abstract representations of the past.

The work is currently housed in the Alte Pinakothek in Munich, Germany, where it continues to be studied and admired for its technical brilliance and its emotional depth. Elsheimer's "Flucht nach Ägypten" not only exemplifies his mastery of painting but also encapsulates the broader shifts in European art at the dawn of the 17th century, making it a critical piece for understanding the evolution of landscape and narrative painting in this period.
