"The Flight into Egypt Altered from Seghers" is a notable artwork by Rembrandt van Rijn, a master of the Dutch Golden Age. Created in 1653, this piece is an etching and drypoint on paper, which exemplifies Rembrandt's innovative approach to printmaking. The work is a modification of an original landscape etching by Hercules Seghers, a fellow Dutch artist known for his experimental techniques and atmospheric landscapes. Rembrandt transformed Seghers' scene by adding the figures of the Holy Family, thus recontextualizing the landscape as a backdrop for the biblical narrative of the Flight into Egypt.

This artwork is significant for several reasons. Firstly, it showcases Rembrandt's skill in reworking existing prints, a practice not uncommon in his time, to create new compositions with added layers of meaning. Secondly, it reflects his deep engagement with religious themes, a central aspect of his oeuvre. The Flight into Egypt, which tells the story of Joseph, Mary, and the infant Jesus fleeing to Egypt to escape King Herod's massacre of the innocents, was a subject Rembrandt returned to multiple times throughout his career.

The etching is also an example of Rembrandt's mastery of light and shadow, using the drypoint technique to add rich, velvety tones and textures to the print. His ability to manipulate the medium to achieve dramatic effects is evident in the way he contrasts the darkness of the nocturnal setting with the illuminated figures, guiding the viewer's focus to the central narrative.

"The Flight into Egypt Altered from Seghers" is held in various collections around the world, including the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Its art historical importance is reflected in its frequent study by scholars interested in printmaking, Rembrandt's religious works, and the artistic interactions between masters of the Dutch Golden Age.
