Bedevaart naar Onze Lieve Vrouw van Scherpenheuvel 1738

This etching, titled "Bedevaart naar Onze Lieve Vrouw van Scherpenheuvel," depicts a pilgrimage to the shrine of Our Lady of Scherpenheuvel in Belgium, created by Jan Caspar Philips in 1738. The artwork showcases a long line of figures proceeding toward the church, while a figure kneels in prayer before a religious icon. The detailed landscape background and the emphasis on the pilgrimage underscore the devotional and spiritual nature of the scene, typical of 18th-century religious art. This print, housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a valuable historical document of religious practice in the 18th century.
