Intocht van Christus in Jerusalem 1590 - 1622

"Intocht van Christus in Jerusalem" is a 17th-century print by Boëtius Adamsz. Bolswert depicting the biblical scene of Jesus Christ entering Jerusalem on a donkey. This scene, known as Palm Sunday, is a major event in the Christian faith, commemorating Jesus's triumphant entry into the holy city. The engraving shows a procession of people, with Jesus in the center, riding the donkey, and being greeted with palm branches and shouts of "Hosanna!" The detailed depiction of the event, along with the use of light and shadow, creates a powerful and moving image. This artwork, part of the Rijksmuseum collection, showcases the artist's skill in conveying religious narratives through printmaking.
