"The Flight into Egypt" is a notable engraving by the German artist Martin Schongauer, who was among the most skilled and influential printmakers of the late 15th century. Created circa 1470-75, this work depicts the biblical episode described in the Gospel of Matthew (2:13-15), in which the Holy Family, consisting of Joseph, Mary, and the infant Jesus, flee to Egypt to escape King Herod's Massacre of the Innocents.

Schongauer's rendering of "The Flight into Egypt" is distinguished by its intricate detail and the delicate handling of the engraving medium. The composition is characterized by a harmonious blend of naturalism and grace, as the artist captures the serene yet arduous journey of the family through a landscape filled with both realistic and fantastical elements. The Virgin Mary is shown riding a donkey, holding the Christ Child, while Joseph leads the way, with the scene often being populated by various animals and angels, which reflect Schongauer's attention to the natural world and his capacity for imaginative interpretation.

This work is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its influence on subsequent generations of artists. Schongauer's prints were widely disseminated throughout Europe, and his refined technique and expressive style had a profound impact on the development of Northern Renaissance art. "The Flight into Egypt" exemplifies Schongauer's skill in creating a narrative that is both spiritually evocative and visually compelling, making it a masterpiece of engraving from this period.

The engraving is held in high esteem for its contribution to the history of art and is frequently studied for its technical prowess and its role in the diffusion of iconographic themes across Europe. Today, impressions of "The Flight into Egypt" can be found in various museum collections, attesting to the enduring legacy of Martin Schongauer's artistry.
