The short biblical account of the Flight into Egypt (Matt. 2:13–14) was elaborated upon by Early Christian and medieval theologians. In one of these apocryphal legends, the weary family paused during their journey after three days of travel. The Virgin longed for food, but the date–palm branches were too high for Joseph to pick any fruit. Thereupon Jesus commanded the tree to lower its branches. David deemphasized this miracle by giving Joseph a sturdy stick and by replacing the date palm with a Flemish chestnut tree, but a sixteenth–century audience would have remembered the apocryphal story. There are also indications of the special significance of the family: the Madonna wears robes in her symbolic colors of red and blue; fine rays of golden light emanate from the mother's head and that of the child; and the bunch of grapes held by the Madonna is a well–known symbol of the Eucharist.

David created a mood of calm equilibrium. The Madonna and Child are centrally placed, while receding diagonals and alternating bands of light and dark skillfully lead back into the landscape and harmoniously relate the figures to their surroundings. The predominance of the restful color blue throughout the composition unifies the work. All in all, The Rest on the Flight into Egypt is one of Gerard David's loveliest and most peaceful creations.

• Mbipụta nke aluminom: Aluminium Dibond prints are prints on metal with a true effect of depth. The white and bright components of the original artpiece shimmer with a silky gloss but without any glow. Colors are bright and luminous, the fine details of the print are crisp. This direct print on aluminium is the most popular entry-level product and is a truly modern way to display art prints, because it draws attention on the whole artwork.
• Kwaaji: A canvas print is a printed canvas stretched on a wooden stretcher. A canvas generates a typical impression of three dimensionality. Canvas prints are relatively low in weight. That means, it is easy to hang the Canvas print without the support of extra wall-mounts. Hence, a canvas print is suited for any kind of wall.
• Akwụkwọ mmado ebipụtara (akwa akwa akwa): Our poster print is a UV printed canvas paper with a granular texture on the surface, that resembles the actual masterpiece. Please note, that depending on the size of the poster print we add a white margin between 2 - 6cm round about the artwork in order to facilitate the framing.
• Bipụta na enyo acrylic: The print on acrylic glass, often labelled as a plexiglass print, makes the original into stunning wall décor and makes a great alternative to dibond or canvas fine art prints. The work of art is being manufactured with state-of-the-art UV direct printing machines. It creates vibrant and impressive colors. With an acrylic glass art print sharp contrasts and small color details become identifiable because of the very subtle tonal gradation.

Ihe dị mkpa: We try whatever we can to depict the art products as precisely as possible and to demonstrate them visually in our shop. Nonetheless, the pigments of the print materials, as well as the print result may differ to a certain extent from the image on the device's monitor. Depending on the screen settings and the quality of the surface, color pigments can unfortunately not be printed 100% realistically. Given that all our fine art prints are processed and printed by hand, there might also be slight differences in the exact position and the size of the motif.
