Christus en Johannes de Doper als kinderen 1616 - 1654

"Christus en Johannes de Doper als kinderen" is an etching by Flemish artist Peter Franchoys, created between 1616 and 1654. The work depicts the young Christ and John the Baptist embracing and kissing, a scene of tenderness and devotion. This etching, a printmaking technique using an acid-resistant metal plate, demonstrates Franchoys' mastery of line and detail, capturing the delicate features of the children. The composition, set against a backdrop of a tree and a distant landscape, adds depth and a sense of intimacy to the scene. This print offers a unique and moving representation of the relationship between the two important figures in Christian faith.
