"Rest on the Flight into Egypt (detail)" is a significant early 17th-century painting by the German artist Adam Elsheimer, created around 1599. This artwork is a detailed portion of a larger composition that depicts the biblical episode of the Holy Family's escape to Egypt, as described in the Gospel of Matthew (2:13-23). The scene is a common subject in Christian art, symbolizing the care and protection provided to the vulnerable family during their perilous journey.

Elsheimer, known for his small-scale, highly detailed works and his pioneering use of chiaroscuro and nocturnal effects, brings a unique interpretation to this traditional theme. His treatment of light and landscape in "Rest on the Flight into Egypt" is particularly noteworthy, as it demonstrates his skill in blending naturalism with the spiritual significance of the scene. The painting showcases Elsheimer's meticulous attention to detail, from the textures of the natural environment to the expressions of the figures.

The work is considered an important example of Elsheimer's oeuvre and is often cited for its influence on subsequent generations of artists, particularly in the Baroque period. Elsheimer's innovative approach to lighting and composition would go on to inspire notable artists such as Rembrandt and Claude Lorrain. Despite his relatively small body of work and his early death at the age of 32, Elsheimer's impact on the development of 17th-century European painting was profound.

"Rest on the Flight into Egypt (detail)" is not only a testament to Elsheimer's artistic mastery but also reflects the religious and cultural milieu of the time. The painting's current location and provenance, as well as its critical reception and place within Elsheimer's artistic chronology, contribute to its historical and cultural significance within the canon of European art.
