"Le Repos Pendant La Fuite En Egypte" (Rest During the Flight into Egypt) is a notable painting by the French Romantic artist Théodore Chassériau (1819–1856). Created in 1843, this work exemplifies Chassériau's skill in blending the academic classicism of his teacher Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres with the color and exoticism associated with the Romantic movement led by Eugène Delacroix. The painting depicts the Holy Family—Joseph, the Virgin Mary, and the infant Jesus—taking a moment of rest during their flight to Egypt to escape King Herod's Massacre of the Innocents, a biblical event recounted in the Gospel of Matthew.

In this work, Chassériau illustrates a serene and intimate moment set in an idyllic landscape, which contrasts with the dramatic and often perilous journey traditionally emphasized in depictions of the Flight into Egypt. Mary is portrayed with a gentle expression, cradling the sleeping Christ child, while Joseph is shown in repose, suggesting the protective role he plays within the family. The artist's use of light and shadow, as well as his attention to the details of the figures' drapery and the surrounding environment, contribute to the painting's tranquil and contemplative atmosphere.

"Le Repos Pendant La Fuite En Egypte" is considered an important work in Chassériau's oeuvre, reflecting his personal interpretation of a religious theme and his mastery of the human form. The painting is also indicative of the 19th-century French art scene's engagement with biblical subjects, interpreted through the lens of contemporary artistic movements. Today, the painting is held in a notable museum collection and continues to be studied for its aesthetic qualities and its place within the broader context of French Romanticism.
