Christus staande tussen zeven kandelaren, met zeven sterren in de hand 1780

"Christus staande tussen zeven kandelaren, met zeven sterren in de hand" is an etching by Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki, created in 1780. This small artwork, measuring just 64 mm by 95 mm, depicts a scene of Christ standing amidst seven burning candlesticks and holding seven stars in his hand. The figure of Christ appears to be in a state of ascension, while a man lies prone on the ground below, perhaps representing a follower or believer. This etching, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies Chodowiecki's mastery of the printmaking medium, showcasing his detailed rendering of figures and the use of light and shadow to create depth and atmosphere.
