"The Flight into Egypt" is a watercolor with pen and ink artwork created by the English poet, painter, and printmaker William Blake, who lived from 1757 to 1827. This piece is part of Blake's diverse body of work that encompasses biblical themes, reflecting his deep engagement with spirituality and mysticism. The artwork depicts the biblical episode described in the Gospel of Matthew (2:13-15), in which the angel of the Lord appears to Joseph in a dream, warning him to flee to Egypt with Mary and the infant Jesus in order to escape King Herod's massacre of the infants in Bethlehem.

Created in circa 1803, "The Flight into Egypt" is characterized by Blake's distinctive style that combines visionary imagery with complex symbolism. The work is notable for its expressive figures and dramatic use of color, which convey the urgency and emotional intensity of the holy family's nocturnal escape. Blake's interpretation of the scene may also reflect his own views on innocence, suffering, and divine protection, themes that recur throughout his artistic and literary oeuvre.

The artwork is part of a series of biblical watercolors that Blake produced for his patron Thomas Butts, a series that allowed Blake to explore the religious narratives in depth. "The Flight into Egypt" stands as a testament to Blake's unique artistic vision and his ability to infuse traditional religious subjects with a personal and imaginative perspective.

As of the knowledge cutoff date, "The Flight into Egypt" is held in a private collection or institution, and it continues to be studied and appreciated as an important work within Blake's extensive catalog of religious and mythological art. The piece is also a valuable example of British Romantic art and contributes to the understanding of the period's artistic exploration of spirituality and the sublime.
