Rest on Flight
Fine Art, Etching, Rembrandt, The Rest on the Flight into Egypt: A Night Piece
is a famous etching by the Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn. The artwork, which dates to around 1644, depicts the Holy Family resting under a tree during their flight from King Herod. The scene is illuminated by a single lantern, allowing Rembrandt to experiment with the use of light and shadow, a style he explored in several "night pieces".
