"The Flight Into Egypt" is an engraving created by the Dutch artist Hendrick Goudt in the early 17th century. Goudt, primarily known for his work as an engraver, was a significant figure in the Dutch Golden Age of art. He was born in 1583 in The Hague and later moved to Rome, where he became closely associated with the German painter Adam Elsheimer. Goudt's engravings are particularly noted for their meticulous detail and dramatic use of light and shadow, qualities that are prominently displayed in "The Flight Into Egypt."

This engraving depicts the biblical scene of the Holy Family's escape to Egypt, as recounted in the Gospel of Matthew. The narrative describes how Joseph, Mary, and the infant Jesus fled to Egypt to escape King Herod's decree to massacre all young male children in Bethlehem. Goudt's interpretation of this poignant moment is both intimate and dramatic, capturing the urgency and solemnity of the journey.

In "The Flight Into Egypt," Goudt employs a chiaroscuro technique, a hallmark of his style, to create a striking contrast between light and dark areas. This method not only enhances the three-dimensionality of the figures but also imbues the scene with a sense of depth and realism. The composition is carefully balanced, with the Holy Family positioned centrally, surrounded by a landscape that recedes into the background. The use of light to highlight the figures against the darker surroundings draws the viewer's attention to the emotional gravity of the scene.

Goudt's engraving is also notable for its intricate details, from the delicate folds of the garments to the textured landscape. These elements reflect Goudt's skill and precision as an engraver, as well as his ability to convey complex narratives through his art. "The Flight Into Egypt" stands as a testament to Goudt's mastery of the engraving medium and his contribution to the visual culture of the Dutch Golden Age.
