The Rest on the Flight into Egypt is a 1600 oil by Giovanni Battista Paggi, a Early Baroque Italian work, held at National Galleries Scotland.
This painting shows a tender scene of a man holding a baby, with another child reaching out to touch the baby's hand. The man wears a red headband and a dark robe, while the baby is wrapped in a white cloth. In the background, a woman is bent over, possibly collecting water or washing clothes. The painting's use of warm colors and soft lighting creates a sense of intimacy and tranquility. The figures are arranged in a gentle, curved line, adding to the overall sense of harmony.
