Niels Vind til Grundet og en fremstilling af Kristus på korset 1648

This etching, created in 1648 by the Danish artist Hans Andreas Greys, depicts a portrait of Niels Vind, a Danish nobleman, alongside a scene of Christ's crucifixion. The composition is framed by elaborate decorative elements, including a series of coats of arms, putti, and a depiction of God the Father. The contrast between the stately portrait and the dramatic religious scene speaks to the social and religious values of the period. This work is a prime example of 17th century Danish art, characterized by its combination of realism and symbolism.
