"The Rest on the Flight into Egypt: A Night Piece" is a painting by the Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn, created in 1647 during the artist's mature period. This work depicts the biblical episode of the Holy Family—Joseph, Mary, and the infant Jesus—taking refuge during their flight to Egypt to escape King Herod's Massacre of the Innocents, as recounted in the Gospel of Matthew. The painting is renowned for its nocturnal setting and the use of chiaroscuro, a technique that Rembrandt mastered, which employs strong contrasts between light and dark to achieve a sense of depth and volume.

Measuring 34 x 48 cm, the painting is executed in oil on panel. It is currently housed in the National Gallery of Ireland, Dublin. "The Rest on the Flight into Egypt: A Night Piece" is considered one of Rembrandt's more intimate religious scenes, capturing a moment of tranquility and reflection amidst a journey fraught with danger. The artist's treatment of the subject matter is notable for its humanization of the sacred family, presenting them in a vulnerable and relatable state rather than as untouchable religious icons.

In this painting, Rembrandt's use of light not only guides the viewer's eye to the central figures of Mary and the sleeping Christ Child but also evokes a sense of divine presence in the otherwise dark and foreboding landscape. The composition's focus on the tenderness and protective care between the family members is further emphasized by the surrounding darkness, which isolates them from the viewer's world and underscores the intimacy of the scene.

"The Rest on the Flight into Egypt: A Night Piece" is a significant work in Rembrandt's oeuvre, exemplifying his skillful manipulation of light and shadow, his profound understanding of human emotion, and his ability to convey narrative depth within a single frame. The painting continues to be a subject of study for art historians and a cherished piece for museum visitors, offering a glimpse into the artist's personal interpretation of a well-known biblical story.
