The Rest on the Flight into Egypt

Giorgio Ghisi after Giulio Campi

National Gallery of Art

The image displays multiple figures. The central figure is a woman with wavy hair and a veil, cradling a nude child. Around them are several other figures, some with wings. One figure points upward. There is a man partially covered by drapery with curly hair and a beard, and another male figure with curly hair and a robe. The figures wear flowing robes. The backdrop features a rural landscape with buildings and hills. Above, cherubic figures are interwoven among the fronds of a palm tree. The background details create a rich tapestry framing the central figures.
