Rust tijdens de vlucht naar Egypte 1615

"Rust tijdens de vlucht naar Egypte" (Rest during the Flight to Egypt) is an etching by Pieter Feddes van Harlingen, a Dutch artist born in 1614. This small, detailed print, created in 1615, depicts the biblical story of the Holy Family's journey to Egypt. The scene shows the Virgin Mary holding the Christ Child, while Joseph rests against a tree. The artist’s masterful use of line and shading creates a sense of depth and realism. The etching is now held in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
