Rest On The Flight Into Egypt
The Rest on the Flight into Egypt is a subject in Christian art showing Mary, mother of Jesus, Mary, Saint Joseph, Joseph, and the infant Jesus resting during their flight into Egypt. The Holy Family is normally shown in a landscape. The subject did not develop until the second half of the fourteenth century, though it was an "obvious step" from depictions of the "legend of the palm tree" where they pause to eat dates and rest; palm trees are often included. It was a further elaboration of the long-standing Flight into Egypt#In art, traditions of incidents that embellished the story of the Flight into Egypt#In art, Flight into Egypt, which the New Testament merely says happened, without giving any details.

Santi Clemente E Imerio, Cremona
Santi Clemente e Imerio (or sometimes called Sant'Imerio alone) is a 17th-century Roman Catholic church on Via Aporti 16, in Cremona, region of Lombardy, Italy. The church was commissioned in 1606 by the Marchese Cesare de Soresina Vidoni, in part to house his brother Pietro, who had become a monk in the Order of Discalced Carmelites, and established a convent alongside this church. The exterior was left unfinished in part to demonstrate the vows of poverty of the order. In 1805, the order was suppressed and the remaining monks were relocated to Lodi and Crema. This church was joined to the parish church of San Clemente, thus adding the name. The church has three chapels on each side.
