The rest on the flight into Egypt 1675 - 1699

This bronze relief, titled "The Rest on the Flight into Egypt," is an oval-shaped artwork created by the Italian sculptor Alessandro Algardi. The piece depicts a biblical scene, illustrating the moment Mary, Joseph, and the Christ child rest during their escape to Egypt. The artist's skilled use of the medium allows for a dramatic composition with realistic drapery and figures, drawing the viewer into the scene. The artwork is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
