''No. 20 Scenes from the Life of Christ: 4. Flight into Egypt'' is a fresco by the Italian Renaissance master Giotto di Bondone, painted between 1304 and 1306. This work is part of a series of frescoes that depict various episodes from the life of Christ, located in the Scrovegni Chapel (also known as the Arena Chapel) in Padua, Italy. The series is widely recognized as one of Giotto's masterpieces and a seminal work for the development of Renaissance art.

The ''Flight into Egypt'' scene is a representation of the biblical episode described in the Gospel of Matthew (2:13-15), in which the Holy Family, consisting of Joseph, the Virgin Mary, and the infant Jesus, flee to Egypt to escape the Massacre of the Innocents ordered by King Herod. Giotto's interpretation of this event is noted for its emotional depth and humanism, characteristics that marked a departure from the stylized Byzantine art of the period.

In this fresco, Giotto employs his innovative use of chiaroscuro and perspective to create a sense of three-dimensionality and space, which was revolutionary at the time. The figures are rendered with weight and volume, and their expressions convey a poignant sense of urgency and concern. The landscape, though still stylized, shows Giotto's careful observation of the natural world, with attention to details such as the rocky terrain and the foliage.

The ''Flight into Egypt'' is celebrated for its narrative clarity and the way in which Giotto's composition guides the viewer's eye through the scene. It is an exemplary piece of Giotto's work that illustrates his break from the preceding art traditions and his role in laying the groundwork for the Renaissance emphasis on realism and the human experience.

As part of the Scrovegni Chapel frescoes, ''No. 20 Scenes from the Life of Christ: 4. Flight into Egypt'' has been the subject of extensive art historical research and conservation. The frescoes were commissioned by Enrico Scrovegni, a wealthy Paduan banker, who intended the chapel as a family mausoleum and a testament to his piety. The entire cycle is considered one of the most complete and well-preserved examples of early 14th-century Italian fresco painting, and it has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
