"Rest on the Flight into Egypt" is a painting by the renowned French Rococo artist Jean-Antoine Watteau. Created in the early 18th century, this work exemplifies Watteau's delicate and nuanced approach to both religious and pastoral themes. Although Watteau is primarily celebrated for his fêtes galantes—elegant outdoor entertainments featuring aristocratic figures—this painting demonstrates his versatility and ability to infuse sacred subjects with a sense of intimacy and tranquility.

The painting depicts a moment from the biblical narrative of the Holy Family's flight into Egypt, as recounted in the Gospel of Matthew. According to the story, Joseph, Mary, and the infant Jesus fled to Egypt to escape King Herod's decree to massacre all young male children in Bethlehem. Watteau captures a serene interlude during their arduous journey, focusing on the themes of rest and divine protection.

In "Rest on the Flight into Egypt," Watteau employs his characteristic soft brushwork and a muted color palette to create a harmonious and peaceful scene. The Holy Family is shown resting in a lush, idyllic landscape, with Mary tenderly holding the Christ Child while Joseph stands watch. The composition is balanced and imbued with a gentle luminosity, highlighting Watteau's skill in rendering light and atmosphere.

This painting is notable for its departure from the dramatic and often somber interpretations of the same subject by earlier artists. Instead, Watteau's version emphasizes the human and tender aspects of the Holy Family's experience, aligning with the Rococo aesthetic's preference for lightness and grace. "Rest on the Flight into Egypt" thus stands as a testament to Watteau's ability to blend religious iconography with the refined elegance that defines his oeuvre.
