"The Flight into Egypt: Crossing the Brook" (Bartsch 55) is an evocative etching by the renowned Dutch artist Rembrandt van Rijn, created in 1654. This work is part of a series of etchings that Rembrandt produced, which depict various scenes from the Bible. The etching illustrates the biblical narrative of the Holy Family's escape to Egypt, as recounted in the Gospel of Matthew (2:13-15). This episode describes how Joseph, Mary, and the infant Jesus fled to Egypt to escape King Herod's decree to massacre all young male children in Bethlehem.

Rembrandt's interpretation of this poignant moment is both intimate and dramatic. The composition centers on the figures of Mary, seated on a donkey and holding the infant Jesus, and Joseph, who leads the way. The family is depicted crossing a brook, symbolizing their arduous journey and the trials they face. The landscape is rendered with meticulous detail, showcasing Rembrandt's mastery in capturing the interplay of light and shadow, which adds a sense of depth and realism to the scene.

The etching is notable for its delicate line work and the subtle gradations of tone that Rembrandt achieves through his expert use of the etching needle and drypoint technique. The artist's ability to convey emotion and narrative through minimalistic yet expressive lines is evident in this work. The serene yet determined expressions on the faces of the Holy Family reflect their faith and resilience amidst adversity.

"The Flight into Egypt: Crossing the Brook" is a testament to Rembrandt's profound ability to blend technical skill with deep emotional resonance. It remains a significant piece within his oeuvre, exemplifying his contributions to the art of etching and his enduring influence on the depiction of biblical themes in art. This etching is housed in various collections around the world, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance.
