Flight into Egypt is a 1658 oil painting by Juan de Pareja.

[1] The Virgin Mary is depicted wearing a blue mantle and red dress, holding the Christ Child on her lap as they ride a donkey led by St. Joseph.

In the background, a date palm tree grows from a rocky landscape.

[2] The date palm symbolizes heavenly nourishment for the Holy Family, referencing legends of the Flight into Egypt where the branches bent down to provide food.

The image of St. Joseph leading the donkey aligns with apocryphal texts where the saint is depicted as a guide for the Holy Family.
