The Rest on the Flight into Egypt

Simone Cantarini

National Gallery of Art

The image displays three figures and an angel as the main subjects. The angel, with large wings, stands in the center, reaching up towards palm fronds. Two individuals are portrayed beside the angel, one seated and looking upwards, the other lying down, partially covered, with the third figure facing the viewer. The figures are depicted in classical attire, surrounded by a lush landscape and a sky with clouds.
