Christus geeft de sleutels aan Petrus 1705 - 1778

This etching by François Eisen, created between 1705 and 1778, depicts the biblical scene of Christ giving the keys to Saint Peter. The scene is a representation of the power of the papacy, a central theme in Catholic iconography. Eisen's meticulous detailing and use of light and shadow create a sense of depth and realism, typical of Baroque art. This small-scale etching, measuring 274 mm in height and 202 mm in width, is a testament to Eisen's skill and artistry.
