"Rest on the Flight into Egypt" (c. 1599) is an oil on copper painting by the German artist Adam Elsheimer, who is known for his small-scale, highly detailed works that often incorporate innovative treatments of light and landscape. This painting depicts the biblical episode of the Holy Family's escape to Egypt, as recounted in the Gospel of Matthew (2:13-23), where Joseph, Mary, and the infant Jesus rest during their journey to avoid King Herod's Massacre of the Innocents.

Measuring approximately 31 cm × 41 cm (12 in × 16 in), Elsheimer's work is remarkable for its nocturnal setting, which showcases his mastery of chiaroscuro and the rendering of naturalistic light effects. The scene is illuminated by the soft glow of the moon and the divine light emanating from the Christ child, creating a sense of tranquility and divine presence amidst the darkness of the night.

Elsheimer's composition is notable for its combination of landscape and genre elements, with detailed depictions of plants and animals that add to the painting's sense of realism and intimacy. The figures of the Holy Family are portrayed with a sense of tenderness and vulnerability that humanizes the divine narrative.

"Rest on the Flight into Egypt" is considered one of Elsheimer's masterpieces and is a prime example of his influence on the development of 17th-century landscape painting. The work's innovative approach to light and atmosphere had a significant impact on contemporary artists, including Peter Paul Rubens and Rembrandt, and it remains an important piece in the study of Baroque art.

The painting is held in the collection of the Alte Pinakothek in Munich, Germany, where it continues to be studied and admired for its technical brilliance and its evocative portrayal of a pivotal moment in Christian iconography.
