Flight into Egipt is a 1699 oil by Luca Giordano, held at National Museum in Kraków.
This painting shows a tender moment of a family on the move. A man, possibly a father, guides a donkey carrying a woman and a baby. The woman gently cradles the baby in her arms, while the man looks back, possibly checking their surroundings. The scene is set against a backdrop of hills and a cloudy sky.
