Antonio Peris, a Valencian painter (c1365-1436), painted around 1410 the Virgen de la Leche Altarpiece for the chapel of the Sivera family in the convent of Santo Domingo; all his panels are dedicated to the theme of the Virgin as Maria Lactans; the lower one on the right-hand side of the street is a Flight to Egypt. It is exhibited at the Museo San Pio V, Valencia Fine Arts Museum.

La Flight to Egypt. The break in the flight to Egypt. In this motif, often depicted in Christian painting, Mary flees from the slaughter of the first-born ordered by Herod, the ruler of Judea, and takes the opportunity to breastfeed, either during a pause on the road or on the donkey. According to the Gospel of Saint Matthew (Matthew 2:13), an angel appeared to Saint Joseph ordering him to flee with his wife and son to Egypt, as Herod, King of Judea, having learned of the birth of Jesus from the Magi and fearing that he would be dethroned by him, was looking for him in order to kill him.
