The Rest on the Fligth into Egypt 1639 - 1679

"The Rest on the Flight into Egypt" painted by Nicolas Loir between 1639 and 1679, is a depiction of the biblical story of the Holy Family's flight from Herod. The painting showcases the Virgin Mary, holding the infant Jesus, seated on the left with a weary Joseph resting to the right. The scene is set in a lush landscape, with a distant city and a meandering river. The artwork is currently in the collection of the Statens Museum for Kunst.
