"Rest on the Flight into Egypt" is a painting by the Dutch artist Cornelis Engebrechtsz, created in the early 16th century. As one of the earliest known Dutch painters of the Renaissance, Engebrechtsz was a significant figure in the development of Northern Renaissance art, and his works are characterized by their vivid detail and use of color.

The painting depicts the biblical episode of the Holy Family's escape to Egypt, as described in the Gospel of Matthew (2:13-23). This theme was a popular subject in Christian art, symbolizing the care and protection provided by the parents, Mary and Joseph, to the infant Jesus during their perilous journey. In Engebrechtsz's interpretation, the scene typically shows the family at rest, with the Virgin Mary often nursing the Christ Child or holding him tenderly, while Joseph stands or sits nearby, sometimes shown in the act of removing a thorn from his foot, a detail that emphasizes the hardships of their flight.

Engebrechtsz's "Rest on the Flight into Egypt" is notable for its detailed landscape and the emotional connection between the figures. The artist's use of light and shadow, as well as his attention to the textures of fabrics and the natural environment, contribute to the painting's narrative and devotional impact. The work is also an example of the transition from the medieval Gothic style to the more naturalistic approach of the Renaissance.

The painting is part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands, where it is displayed and contributes to the understanding of the early Renaissance period in Northern Europe. As with many works of this era, "Rest on the Flight into Egypt" by Cornelis Engebrechtsz reflects both the religious sentiments of the time and the evolving artistic techniques that would come to define the Northern Renaissance.
