The Rest on the Flight into Egypt with St. John the Baptist is a 1509 oil by Fra Bartolomeo, a High Renaissance work, depicting Child Saint John, held at J. Paul Getty Museum.
This painting depicts a serene scene of the Holy Family in a lush landscape. The Virgin Mary sits on a blue cloth, cradling the infant Jesus in her lap. To her right, a young Saint John the Baptist stands, holding a cross. Joseph, dressed in red, sits to the left, looking down at the pair. The background features a distant cityscape, with palm trees and a stone structure in the foreground.
