The Rest on the Flight into Egypt is a subject in Christian art showing Mary, Joseph, and the infant Jesus resting during their flight into Egypt. The Holy Family is normally shown in a landscape. The subject did not develop until the second half of the fourteenth century, though it was an "obvious step" from depictions of the "legend of the palm tree" where they pause to eat dates and rest; palm trees are often included. It was a further elaboration of the long-standing traditions of incidents that embellished the story of the Flight into Egypt, which the New Testament merely says happened, without giving any details.

  • El Descanso en la huida a Egipto es un tema en el arte cristiano que muestra a María, José y el niño Jesús en una parada o alto durante su huida a Egipto. La iconografía es muy variada, aunque abundan las representaciones de los viajeros en un paisaje a partir del siglo xvi,​ así como del episodio de la palmera datilera vareada por José para alimentar al niño y las escenas de amamantamiento.​​​ El motivo, apenas comentado en el Nuevo Testamento,​ comienza a representarse con frecuencia a partir de la segunda mitad del siglo xiv, quizá asociado al referido pasaje bíblico de la "leyenda de la palmera" (que en la evolución iconográfica será sustituida por diversos árboles, en especial los frutales).​ La pintura considerada más antigua forma parte del gran retablo de 24 paneles, en la catedral de Grabow,​ atribuido al Maestro Bertram, pintor localizado en la zona de Hamburgo hacia 1379.​​​ Hasta 1500, se datan otras representaciones similares, localizadas siempre al norte de los Alpes, y supuestamente pintadas para capillas de ricos comerciantes o funcionarios.​ (es)
  • The Rest on the Flight into Egypt is a subject in Christian art showing Mary, Joseph, and the infant Jesus resting during their flight into Egypt.

It was a further elaboration of the long-standing traditions of incidents that embellished the story of the Flight into Egypt, which the New Testament merely says happened, without giving any details. The earliest known Rest is a panel in the large compartmented Grabow Altarpiece by the north German painter Meister Bertram, from about 1379, and the subject was mainly found north of the Alps until 1500 or later. Most depictions are made for wealthy homes rather than churches, and the subject only rarely forms part of cycles of the Life of Christ in churches (though the Grabow Altarpiece is one exception). As landscape painting increased in popularity, it became an alternative to the original scene of the family on the road, and by the late sixteenth century perhaps overtook it in popularity. The figures are often simply resting, but sometimes more definite camping or picnicking is shown, perhaps assisted by angels. In earlier pieces the Virgin is sometimes breastfeeding, connecting to the long-standing iconography of the Virgo Lactans. Joseph may be active, gathering firewood or fetching water, but in later pieces he is sometimes fast asleep, which the Virgin rarely is. In larger landscapes, other legendary incidents from the Flight may be seen in the distance. (en)
  • Le Repos pendant la fuite en Égypte est une partie de l'épisode de la Fuite en Égypte du Nouveau Testament. L'Évangile selon Matthieu est la source première du récit mais n'évoque pas précisément cet épisode de la Fuite (2, 13-23). Il faut se tourner vers l'évangile apocryphe du pseudo-Matthieu qui décrit cette scène également appelée le Miracle du palmier. Strictement, il rassemble la Sainte Famille (Marie de Nazareth, Joseph et l'Enfant Jésus), peu après la naissance de Jésus, pendant une halte dans leur voyage depuis la Judée vers l'Égypte pour échapper au roi Hérode qui met à mort les enfants de moins de deux ans (Massacre des Innocents) voulant éliminer ainsi le futur « roi des Juifs », un ange ayant prévenu Joseph dans un songe. Ils reviendront sept ans plus tard, avertis, également par l'ange, de la mort d'Hérode. La Vierge désirant manger les fruits d'un palmier sous lequel elle s'est assise en fit la demande à Joseph. Ce dernier lui répondit que ces derniers étaient beaucoup trop hauts et qu'il s'inquiétait davantage du manque d'eau. Alors le Christ ordonna au palmier de se courber pour permettre à sa mère de se nourrir, ce qu'il fit. Une fois les fruits cueillis, le Christ ordonna au palmier de se redresser et lui promit une place au Paradis de son père. Le palmier obtempéra et d'entre ses racines surgit une source d'eau claire et fraîche. (fr)
