Landscape with the Rest on the Flight into Egypt is a 1544 ink by Sebastiano de Valentinis, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows a rocky landscape with a winding path leading to a distant town. In the foreground, three figures—likely a woman, a child, and a man—walk or rest under trees. The scene feels quiet, with rough textures in the hills and careful lines in the foliage. The artist used shading to show depth, especially in the trees and rocks. This technique makes the scene feel three-dimensional, even though it’s just ink on paper. Next, look up etching to see how artists like this one create detailed prints.
