The Rest on the Flight to Egypt 

Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo’s “The Rest on the Flight to Egypt” depicts the biblical story of the Holy Family’s journey to escape Herod’s wrath. The painting showcases Tiepolo’s signature Rococo style, characterized by delicate brushstrokes, vibrant colors, and a sense of lightheartedness. The composition, with its central grouping of figures and emphasis on soft curves, creates a sense of harmony and grace. This intimate portrayal of the biblical event, housed in the Budapest Museum of Fine Arts, invites viewers to contemplate the human side of the divine journey.
