De visitatie 1480 - 1485

This engraving by the Master of the Amsterdam Cabinet, titled "De Visitatie," depicts the biblical scene of the Virgin Mary's visit to her cousin Elizabeth. The artwork, created between 1480 and 1485, features a detailed depiction of the two figures in a domestic setting. The scene is set in a courtyard, with a man in the background and a glimpse of a building. The masterfully rendered lines and cross-hatching of the engraving create a sense of depth and movement in the composition. "De Visitatie" is a prime example of the detailed and expressive style of 15th-century Northern European engraving.
