"The Flight into Egypt" is a notable work by José Rafael Aragón, a distinguished santero (saint-maker) of the early 19th-century New Mexican school of religious art. This piece, like many of Aragón's works, is a retablo, a type of devotional painting typically created on a flat panel of wood, which depicts religious figures and scenes for the purpose of veneration in both churches and private homes. "The Flight into Egypt" portrays the biblical episode described in the Gospel of Matthew (2:13-23), in which the Holy Family—Joseph, Mary, and the infant Jesus—flee to Egypt to escape King Herod's massacre of the innocents.

José Rafael Aragón's rendition of this scene is characterized by the distinctive features of the Spanish Colonial style, which flourished in the region now known as New Mexico. His work often includes bright colors, simplified forms, and a blend of European and indigenous artistic influences, reflecting the cultural milieu of the time. Aragón's "The Flight into Egypt" is significant not only for its religious and historical context but also for its artistic merit, showcasing the unique regional variations of Spanish Colonial art.

As a prominent figure in New Mexican religious art, Aragón's contributions are recognized for their influence on the development of the santero tradition in the American Southwest. "The Flight into Egypt" is a testament to his skill and the enduring legacy of New Mexican santeros. The piece is an important part of the collection of Spanish Colonial art and is often studied for its iconography, technique, and place within the broader narrative of New Mexican cultural heritage.

This work is preserved and displayed in institutions that specialize in Spanish Colonial art, such as the Museum of Spanish Colonial Art in Santa Fe, New Mexico, or similar establishments that focus on the religious and cultural history of the region. "The Flight into Egypt" by José Rafael Aragón remains an essential work for understanding the religious art and iconography of the American Southwest during the Spanish Colonial period.
