Christus in het huis van Simon in Bethanië (rechter deel) 1633 - 1700

This etching, "Christus in het huis van Simon in Bethanië (rechter deel)," by Jean Pesne depicts a scene from the Bible, specifically the story of Mary anointing Jesus' feet. The piece, completed between 1633 and 1700, is a powerful example of Baroque art. The detailed figures and the dramatic use of light and shadow create a sense of movement and emotion. This work is part of the Rijksmuseum's collection, a testament to Pesne's mastery of etching and his ability to bring biblical narratives to life.
