Twee monstransen en een wijwaterbak met een voorstelling van de doop van Chirstus in de Jordaan 1817

"Twee monstransen en een wijwaterbak met een voorstelling van de doop van Chirstus in de Jordaan" is a detailed etching by Pietro Ruga from 1817. The artwork features three designs for church objects, including two monstrances (vessels for displaying the consecrated host) and a holy water stoup. Each object is depicted in a separate section of the composition, with elaborate details. The central design features a scene of the baptism of Christ, surrounded by a laurel wreath and cherubs. The overall style of the artwork is characteristic of neoclassical design, with a focus on symmetry, balance, and precise linework. This design exemplifies the importance of religious symbolism and the artistic expression of faith during the early 19th century.
