"Rest on the Flight into Egypt" is a celebrated painting by the French Baroque artist Claude Lorrain (also known as Claude Gellée or Le Lorrain), created in 1647. This artwork is a quintessential example of Claude's idyllic and poetic landscape style, which had a profound influence on the development of landscape painting in Europe. The painting depicts the biblical episode of the Holy Family—Mary, Joseph, and the infant Jesus—taking refuge as they flee to Egypt to escape King Herod's Massacre of the Innocents, as recounted in the Gospel of Matthew.

In "Rest on the Flight into Egypt," Claude Lorrain showcases his mastery of light, atmosphere, and the pastoral landscape. The composition is imbued with a serene and golden light that bathes the scene in a divine glow, symbolizing the presence and protection of God during the family's perilous journey. The figures are positioned in the foreground, with Mary resting and Joseph attending to the donkey, while the infant Jesus sleeps peacefully. The landscape recedes into the distance, leading the viewer's eye through a series of classical ruins and lush vegetation towards a distant horizon, a technique that exemplifies Claude's skill in creating depth and perspective.

The painting is housed in the Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg, Russia, and remains one of Claude Lorrain's most admired works. It is a prime example of his harmonious integration of figure and landscape, and his ability to convey narrative through the eloquent use of natural scenery. "Rest on the Flight into Egypt" is not only a significant piece in Claude Lorrain's oeuvre but also an important work in the history of European art, reflecting the Baroque era's interest in dramatic storytelling, the beauty of the natural world, and the exploration of light and shadow.
