H. Adalbertus van Egmond 1607 - 1611

This 17th-century engraving by Jacob Matham depicts H. Adalbertus van Egmond, a prominent figure in Dutch history. The engraving, created between 1607 and 1611, showcases Adalbertus in full clerical garb, holding a book and a staff, signifying his role as a priest. The background features a church, likely a reference to his association with a religious institution. The detailed engraving, a testament to Matham's skill, captures the solemnity and piety associated with religious figures of the time. This artwork, housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the artistry and religious beliefs of 17th-century Netherlands.
