Rest on the Flight into Egypt 1636 - 1646

"Rest on the Flight into Egypt" is an etching by Stefano della Bella created between 1636 and 1646. The artwork depicts the biblical story of the Holy Family's journey to Egypt, where they are shown resting during their journey. Mary sits with the infant Jesus in her arms while Joseph reads a book in the background, demonstrating their devotion. The serene landscape, detailed figures, and the use of light and shadow create a compelling narrative for the viewer. The artwork is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
