"The Rest on the Flight into Egypt" (1635-1636) is a significant painting by the French Baroque artist Claude Lorrain, also known as Claude Gellée. This artwork is a quintessential example of Claude's idyllic landscape paintings, for which he is renowned. The painting depicts the biblical episode of the Holy Family—Mary, Joseph, and the infant Jesus—taking refuge as they flee to Egypt to escape King Herod's Massacre of the Innocents, as recounted in the Gospel of Matthew (2:13-23).

In this serene composition, Claude Lorrain showcases his mastery of light and atmospheric effects, which would influence the landscape genre for centuries. The scene is set in a tranquil, Arcadian landscape bathed in a warm, golden light that is typical of Claude's mature work. The figures of the Holy Family are positioned in the foreground, taking a moment of rest under the shade of trees, while the surrounding landscape recedes into the distance under a luminous sky, suggesting both the vastness of their journey and the divine protection guiding them.

The painting is notable for its harmonious blending of the natural world with the spiritual narrative, a hallmark of Claude's artistic approach. The landscape, though imagined, is rendered with meticulous detail and imbued with a sense of peace and timelessness, inviting contemplation. "The Rest on the Flight into Egypt" is not only a religious work but also an exploration of the beauty and order of nature, reflecting the classical and poetic sensibilities that underpin Claude Lorrain's oeuvre.

As of the knowledge cutoff date, "The Rest on the Flight into Egypt" by Claude Lorrain is held in a prominent collection, and it continues to be studied and admired for its aesthetic qualities and its place within the artist's body of work and the broader context of 17th-century European art.
