"Rest on the Flight into Egypt" is a painting by the French Baroque artist Nicolas Poussin, created circa 1627. The artwork is a depiction of the biblical episode described in the Gospel of Matthew (Matthew 2:13-23), in which the Holy Family, consisting of Joseph, Mary, and the infant Jesus, are said to have fled to Egypt to escape King Herod's Massacre of the Innocents. Poussin's interpretation of this scene is noted for its serene and contemplative atmosphere, a characteristic of his work during this period.

The painting is executed in oil on canvas and measures approximately 122 by 92 centimeters. It is currently housed in the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Lyon in Lyon, France. "Rest on the Flight into Egypt" showcases Poussin's mastery of classical composition and his ability to convey narrative through landscape and figure placement. The work is composed with a strong attention to detail and a harmonious palette, which aids in the creation of a tranquil and idyllic scene, despite the underlying theme of escape and danger.

In the painting, the figures of Mary and the Christ Child are often depicted at rest, while Joseph is usually shown keeping watch or seeking provisions. Poussin's version typically includes an angel, sometimes portrayed as guiding the family or as an ethereal presence offering protection. The landscape plays a significant role in Poussin's work, often reflecting the mood of the narrative and reinforcing the themes of divine guidance and providence.

"Rest on the Flight into Egypt" is an important work within Poussin's oeuvre and is representative of the classical Baroque style he helped to define. The painting has been studied for its iconography, composition, and Poussin's use of color and light. It continues to be a subject of scholarly interest and is admired for its quiet dignity and the artist's skillful rendering of a moment of respite amidst turmoil.
