Rest on the Flight into Egypt with Saint Francis

The Rest on the Flight into Egypt with Saint Francis is a painting by the Italian Renaissance master Correggio, dated to c. 1520 and now in the Uffizi Gallery of Florence.

[2] The work remained in the church until 1638, when duke Francesco I d'Este moved his collections to Modena and replaced it with a copy by Jean Boulanger.

In 1649 it was acquired by Ferdinando II de' Medici, in exchange for the Sacrifice of Isaac by Andrea del Sarto, and was thenceforth located at the Uffizi.

The painting is inspired to an episode of Jesus' childhood narrated in the Gospel of Pseudo-Matthew.

During their flight from Egypt, the Holy Family stopped to rest under a palm tree.
