Rest on the Flight into Egypt 

This anonymous painting, titled "Rest on the Flight into Egypt", depicts a scene from the biblical narrative of the Holy Family's journey to Egypt. The Virgin Mary is shown cradling the Christ Child, while Joseph rests his head on his hand in the background. The landscape setting, including the rocky outcropping and open sky, emphasizes the journey's challenges. The artist uses a realistic style with delicate brushstrokes to create a sense of intimacy and devotion, characteristic of early Renaissance painting in Northern Europe. The artwork, currently housed in the Städel Museum, is a compelling visual representation of a pivotal moment in Christian history, showcasing the artist's skillful handling of light and shadow, and providing a glimpse into the devotional practices of the time.
