Aanbidding door de herders 1890 - 1933

"Aanbidding door de herders" (Adoration of the Shepherds), a woodcut by Wolbartus Brouwer, depicts a dimly lit scene of several figures gathered in a stable. The stark contrast between the black lines and the white background creates a dramatic effect and emphasizes the figures’ solemn expressions. Brouwer's work is known for its simplicity and powerful use of line, characteristic of the Expressionist movement. This artwork, created between 1890 and 1933, showcases Brouwer's unique style and captures the essence of the religious subject matter.
