Rest on the Flight into Egypt 1504

Lucas Cranach the Elder's "Rest on the Flight into Egypt" (1504), now housed in the Gemäldegalerie, Berlin, depicts the biblical story of the Holy Family's journey to Egypt to escape King Herod. The scene shows Mary seated with the Christ Child, while Joseph holds a staff and looks towards the viewer. The scene is surrounded by a bevy of cherubic angels playing musical instruments. This painting is an example of the German Renaissance style, with its vibrant colors and intricate details.
