The Rest on the Flight into Egypt is a c.1640 gilt-bronze relief by Alessandro Algardi.[1] It and its companion piece The Martyrdom of St Paul are contemporary replicas of the artist's reliefs accompanying the same artist's The Martyrdom of St Paul, a marble group for San Paolo Maggiore in Bologna.[2] Both replicas are now in the Victoria and Albert Museum, whilst a second version of Rest is now in the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge.[3]
