Jezus als jongeling c. 1630 - 1650

This silver bust, "Jezus als jongeling," is a work by Flemish sculptor François du Quesnoy, also known as "Fiammingo." Created between 1630 and 1650, it depicts a youthful Jesus Christ, reflecting the artist's interest in classical sculpture and the idealized beauty of Renaissance art. The bust is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and showcases du Quesnoy's mastery of form and detail, particularly in the delicate rendering of the subject's face and hair.
