This religious counted cross stitch pattern entitled The Rest on the Flight into Egypt designed from a painting by Jan Brueghel the Elder shows two angels hovering over the Holy Family (consisting of Joseph, Mary and the infant Jesus) as they rest in the deep thickets of the woods in the full protective shade of the feathery leaves before fleeing King Herod's land as he sought to kill the infant Jesus. The colors in this schematic scene are glorious, vibrant and breathtaking as they capture the beauty and essence of what is taking place. From the many shades of green bordering on golden to the piercing blue sky in the background, all eyes are on every part of this scene including the highlighting and shading cleverly used by the artist. This will be a masterpiece when stitched and will dominate any wall with its beauty. Only full cross stitches are used in our patterns. No blended colors are used. We only use an abundance of solid colors as it produces a more realistic effect.
