"Rest on the Flight into Egypt" is a significant painting by the Italian Baroque master Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, created around 1596-97. This artwork depicts the biblical episode of the Holy Family's flight into Egypt, a narrative derived from the Gospel of Matthew (2:13-23), in which Joseph, Mary, and the infant Jesus seek refuge to escape King Herod's massacre of the innocents. Caravaggio's interpretation of this scene is notable for its intimate and naturalistic portrayal of the subjects, a hallmark of his revolutionary approach to religious art.

The painting, measuring 135.5 by 166.5 centimeters, is housed in the Galleria Doria Pamphilj in Rome. It features the Virgin Mary cradling the sleeping Christ child while Joseph holds a manuscript for an angel playing a violin. The composition is imbued with a sense of tranquility and tenderness, as the family rests during their arduous journey. Caravaggio's use of chiaroscuro, the dramatic contrast between light and dark, enhances the three-dimensionality of the figures and contributes to the overall mood of the scene.

"Rest on the Flight into Egypt" is particularly noteworthy for its realistic depiction of the figures and the landscape, as well as the innovative inclusion of a musical angel, which adds a lyrical and poetic dimension to the work. The painting is an exemplar of Caravaggio's ability to combine the sacred with the profane, infusing a divine subject with earthly humanity. This piece continues to be studied and admired for its artistic mastery and its significant impact on the development of Baroque painting.
