"Rest on the Flight into Egypt" (Italian: "Riposo durante la fuga in Egitto") is a significant Baroque painting by the Italian master Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, completed circa 1597. The work is housed in the Galleria Doria Pamphilj in Rome. This painting depicts the Holy Family during their flight to Egypt, as recounted in the Gospel of Matthew (Matthew 2:13-23), which describes how Joseph, Mary, and the infant Jesus fled to Egypt to escape King Herod's Massacre of the Innocents.

Caravaggio's interpretation of this biblical episode is notable for its naturalism and humanization of the sacred figures. The scene is imbued with a sense of tranquility and tenderness, as the Virgin Mary is shown asleep with the infant Jesus, while Joseph holds a manuscript for an angel playing a violin. The inclusion of the angelic musician is an inventive element that reflects the Counter-Reformation emphasis on divine harmony and the role of music in spiritual life.

The painting is a masterful example of Caravaggio's use of chiaroscuro, the dramatic contrast between light and dark, to create depth and volume. The figures are illuminated by a soft, natural light that enhances the intimacy of the moment and the realism of the scene. "Rest on the Flight into Egypt" is often praised for its composition and the skillful rendering of the figures' expressions and the landscape.

As one of Caravaggio's early works, it demonstrates the artist's emerging style and his influence on the development of Baroque art. The painting has been studied extensively for its iconography, technique, and place within Caravaggio's oeuvre. It remains a significant piece for scholars interested in the evolution of European painting and the depiction of biblical narratives in art.
