"The Flight into Egypt" is a small oil-on-copper painting created by the German artist Adam Elsheimer in 1609. Renowned for its intricate detail and pioneering use of chiaroscuro and nocturnal effects, the painting is considered one of Elsheimer's masterpieces and a significant work in the history of European art. Measuring approximately 31 cm × 41 cm (12 in × 16 in), it depicts the biblical episode of the Holy Family's escape to Egypt, as described in the Gospel of Matthew (Matthew 2:13-15), to avoid King Herod's Massacre of the Innocents.

Elsheimer's treatment of the subject is notable for its combination of landscape and narrative, and for the artist's meticulous attention to naturalistic detail. The painting is distinguished by its representation of night, with a multitude of stars in the sky and a crescent moon illuminating the scene, which reflects Elsheimer's interest in astronomy and natural phenomena. The work also features a fire that provides a secondary light source, casting a warm glow on the figures and creating a sense of depth through the contrast of light and shadow.

"The Flight into Egypt" is celebrated for its influence on subsequent artists, particularly in its dramatic lighting effects, which would later be echoed in the works of Baroque masters such as Rembrandt and Claude Lorrain. Elsheimer's innovative approach to landscape and his ability to evoke emotion through the depiction of light were groundbreaking at the time and contributed to the development of 17th-century landscape painting.

Today, the painting is held in the Alte Pinakothek in Munich, Germany, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance. Elsheimer's "The Flight into Egypt" remains a key example of the artist's small but impactful oeuvre, which had a lasting impact on the evolution of European art despite his short life and limited number of completed works.
