Christus en de hoofdman van Kafarnaüm 1734 - 1796

This etching, "Christus en de hoofdman van Kafarnaüm" (Christ and the Centurion of Capernaum), depicts a scene from the Gospels. The artwork was created by Austrian painter Franz Anton Maulbertsch between 1734 and 1796, demonstrating his mastery of draftsmanship. The composition features a central figure kneeling in prayer, surrounded by other figures, highlighting the powerful religious narrative. This piece, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Maulbertsch's ability to capture both the emotional depth and the dynamism of the biblical story.
