Catharina kust de wonden van Christus 1603

Cornelis Galle I's engraving "Catharina kust de wonden van Christus" (1603) depicts a scene of religious devotion. The Virgin Mary kneels before a resurrected Christ, her hand delicately placed upon his wound, while three cherubic figures hover overhead. The delicate lines of the engraving, created in the style of Northern Renaissance, evoke a sense of reverence and spiritual connection. The work, housed at the Rijksmuseum, is a fine example of the artistic and religious fervor prevalent in the 17th century.
