Drie Maria's bij het graf 1783

This etching, “Drie Maria's bij het graf” (The Three Marys at the Tomb), was created in 1783 by Adam von Bartsch. It depicts a scene from the biblical story of the women who visit the tomb of Jesus after his death. The three Marys stand in front of the tomb, with an angel seated on a rock above them. In the background is a cityscape. This artwork is a testament to von Bartsch’s skill as a printmaker, and it is a striking example of the use of etching to depict religious scenes. The etching is currently located in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
