"The Return From Egypt" is a notable painting by the Flemish artist Hendrik van Balen, who was active during the late 16th and early 17th centuries. Van Balen, born in 1575 in Antwerp, was a prominent figure in the early Baroque period and is often recognized for his intricate and detailed compositions, as well as his influence on other artists, including his famous pupil, Anthony van Dyck.

This particular work, "The Return From Egypt," depicts the biblical scene of the Holy Family's return to Nazareth after their flight into Egypt to escape King Herod's massacre of the innocents. The painting is characterized by its delicate handling of figures and the serene, almost idyllic landscape that frames the central narrative. Van Balen's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to convey a sense of tranquility and divine protection are evident in this piece.

The composition typically features the Virgin Mary, Joseph, and the Christ Child, often accompanied by angels or other symbolic elements that enhance the spiritual and protective aura surrounding the family. Van Balen's use of color, light, and texture in "The Return From Egypt" exemplifies his mastery in creating a harmonious and balanced scene that draws the viewer into the narrative.

As with many of Van Balen's works, this painting reflects the artist's deep engagement with religious themes and his ability to infuse them with a sense of grace and humanity. "The Return From Egypt" not only showcases Van Balen's technical skill but also his capacity to convey profound spiritual messages through his art. The painting remains an important example of early Baroque religious art and continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance.
