"The Flight Into Egypt: Crossing a Brook" is a copperplate etching by renowned Dutch master Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn, created in 1654. The artwork is based on the biblical story of the Flight into Egypt, recounting Joseph and Mary's journey to Egypt with the infant Jesus to escape King Herod's massacre of innocent children. This narrative scenario has been a common theme in Christian art since the medieval period.

In this embodiment of the story, Rembrandt displays his exceptional skill in achieving incredible detail and depth through his etching technique. The image size of the etching measures approximately 9.3 x 14.3 cm. In this depiction, the Holy Family is shown not within a grand landscape filled with spectacle but rather crossing a simple brook, reducing the narrative to its simplest form.

The artist's use of chiaroscuro, a technique involving the dramatic use of light and shadow, is also apparent, masterfully manipulating it to tell the story through a play on visibility and obscurity. This work is distinguished by Rembrandt's ability to intertwine the holy with the ordinary, bringing an intimate, human touch to an iconic biblical event.

As it stands, "The Flight Into Egypt: Crossing a Brook" is a highly regarded example of Rembrandt's printmaking, showcasing his characteristic handling of biblical themes. The etching is housed in several collections worldwide, including the British Museum and Rijksmuseum, reflecting its vital role in the oeuvre of one of history's most influential artists.
