Rest on the Flight into Egypt is an oil on canvas paining by Italian painter Federico Barocci, created c. 1573. It is held in the Pinacoteca Vaticana. [1]
The painting depicts an episode from the early life of Jesus, the Rest on the Flight into Egypt , a usual subject in Catholic art. The scene is shown from a simple and familiar point of view so as to invite devotion among the faithful. In the center, the Virgin Mary, who is seated, draws water. Behind her, Joseph holds out a branch with a few cherries from a tree to Jesus. The straw hat, the flask, the food bag and the donkey, at the right, contribute to create an atmosphere of intimacy. The presence of cherries, however, are a symbol prefiguring the Passion of Christ. [2] [3]
