"Rest on the Flight into Egypt" is a painting by Sir Anthony van Dyck, a prominent Flemish Baroque artist who was active during the early 17th century. This artwork depicts the biblical episode of the Holy Family's escape to Egypt, as recounted in the Gospel of Matthew. The scene traditionally shows the Virgin Mary, the infant Jesus, and Saint Joseph taking a moment of repose during their journey to avoid King Herod's Massacre of the Innocents.

Van Dyck's interpretation of this religious subject is noted for its intimate portrayal of the family and the serene atmosphere he creates. The painting is characterized by its soft color palette and the gentle interaction between the figures, which reflects the influence of his teacher, Peter Paul Rubens, as well as the artist's own sensibilities in capturing the tenderness of the moment.

The work is part of a long tradition of artistic representations of the "Rest on the Flight into Egypt," a theme that has been explored by numerous artists throughout the history of art. Van Dyck's version stands out for its elegant composition and the emotional depth he brings to the narrative. The painting not only exemplifies Van Dyck's skill in religious art but also provides insight into the devotional practices and artistic tastes of the Counter-Reformation period in which it was created.

As with many of Van Dyck's religious paintings, "Rest on the Flight into Egypt" would have served both as an object of private devotion and as a demonstration of the artist's mastery of the genre. Today, the painting is appreciated not only for its religious significance but also for its artistic merit, offering a glimpse into the development of Baroque painting in the Low Countries.

The painting is held in various collections, and its provenance includes a history of ownership by notable collectors and institutions. It has been studied in the context of Van Dyck's oeuvre and is often included in scholarly discussions of his work and the broader context of 17th-century Flemish art.
