"The Rest on the Flight into Egypt" is a significant painting by the French Baroque artist Nicolas Poussin. Created in circa 1627, the work is an oil on canvas and measures approximately 122 by 98 centimeters. It is currently housed in the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Lyon in Lyon, France. 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 (Matthew 2:13-23).

Poussin, known for his classical approach to painting, has rendered the scene with a serene and contemplative atmosphere, which is characteristic of his work during the 1620s. The composition is balanced and harmonious, with the figures situated in a tranquil landscape that reflects the influence of the Roman countryside, where Poussin spent a significant part of his career. The painting is notable for its subtle use of color and light, which contribute to the overall sense of calm and divine protection.

The theme of "The Rest on the Flight into Egypt" was a popular subject in Christian art, symbolizing the care of Providence for the vulnerable and the sanctity of the family. Poussin's interpretation is distinguished by its emphasis on the quiet dignity of the Holy Family and the natural beauty of their surroundings. This work is an important example of Poussin's early style and his ability to convey complex theological ideas through landscape and narrative.

As one of the leading painters of the French Baroque, Poussin's influence extended well beyond his lifetime, and his works, including "The Rest on the Flight into Egypt," have been studied and admired for their compositional techniques and their embodiment of the classical ideals of order, clarity, and harmony. The painting remains a testament to Poussin's mastery of the classical tradition and his profound impact on the history of European art.
