Huwelijk van Maria en Jozef 1727 - 1755

This anonymous etching, titled "Huwelijk van Maria en Jozef," depicts the marriage of Mary and Joseph, a pivotal event in Christian tradition. Created between 1727 and 1755, the work showcases the artist's mastery of detail, with the figures rendered in a naturalistic style and the surrounding architecture providing a sense of grandeur. The scene unfolds in an elaborate setting, with the central figures of Mary and Joseph surrounded by their families and attendants. The presence of angels above, symbolizing divine favor, enhances the solemnity of the occasion. This piece, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, stands as a testament to the enduring power of this biblical narrative.
