"The Rest on the Flight into Egypt" (circa 1627) is an oil on canvas painting by the French Baroque artist Nicolas Poussin. This artwork is one of the early works of Poussin, who is known for his classical style and contribution to the French Baroque movement. The painting depicts the biblical episode of the Holy Family—Mary, Joseph, and the infant Jesus—taking refuge as they flee to Egypt to escape King Herod's Massacre of the Innocents, as recounted in the Gospel of Matthew (2:13-23).

Measuring 122.5 cm × 99.5 cm (48.2 in × 39.2 in), the painting is currently housed in the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Lyon in Lyon, France. Poussin's interpretation of this religious scene is notable for its serene and contemplative atmosphere, a departure from the dramatic and emotional renderings typical of the Baroque period. The composition is balanced and harmonious, with a landscape that reflects Poussin's study of classical antiquity and his interest in the natural world.

In "The Rest on the Flight into Egypt," Poussin employs a subdued palette and controlled use of light to focus attention on the Holy Family. The figures are rendered with a sculptural solidity, and their expressions convey a sense of quiet resilience and divine protection. The landscape, with its detailed depiction of trees, rocks, and a distant city, serves as both a setting for the narrative and a symbol of the family's journey through hardship.

This work is an example of Poussin's early development as an artist and his lifelong exploration of religious themes. It reflects his commitment to creating works that are both intellectually rigorous and aesthetically pleasing, combining the storytelling of the Baroque with the clarity and order of Classicism. "The Rest on the Flight into Egypt" is considered an important piece in understanding Poussin's oeuvre and his influence on the course of European painting.
