"The Flight into Egypt: Crossing a Brook" is a 1654 etching by the Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn, depicting a scene from the biblical episode of the Flight into Egypt, where the Holy Family, consisting of Joseph, Mary, and the infant Jesus, are fleeing to Egypt to escape King Herod's Massacre of the Innocents. This work is one of several treatments of the theme by Rembrandt, who was known for his profound interpretation of biblical narratives infused with human emotion and dramatic use of light and shadow.

In this etching, Rembrandt illustrates the moment when the family is crossing a brook, a detail not specifically mentioned in the biblical accounts but one that adds a sense of immediacy and physicality to their arduous journey. The composition is characterized by a rich interplay of light and dark, with the figures of Joseph leading a donkey, on which Mary and Jesus are seated, rendered with delicate lines that convey both the tenderness of the scene and the urgency of their flight.

Measuring approximately 94 x 144 mm, the etching is noted for its fine detail and the artist's skillful handling of the etching needle to create a range of tonal effects. Rembrandt's mastery in etching was unparalleled, and "The Flight into Egypt: Crossing a Brook" stands as a testament to his ability to convey narrative and emotion in the medium.

The work is held in various collections and has been the subject of scholarly attention, particularly in the context of Rembrandt's landscape etchings and his depictions of biblical stories. It is often praised for its innovative composition and the way it reflects Rembrandt's deep engagement with the human aspects of religious subjects.

As an important work by one of the most significant artists in the history of art, "The Flight into Egypt: Crossing a Brook" continues to be studied and admired for its artistic merit and its evocative portrayal of a pivotal moment in Christian iconography.
