Aanbidding door de koningen 1573

This 1573 engraving by Isaac Duchemin depicts the biblical scene of the Adoration of the Magi, a popular subject in Christian art. The scene is set in a simple interior, with the three wise men kneeling before Mary and the Christ child. The engraving is characterized by its detailed figures and dramatic use of light and shadow. Duchemin's work highlights the reverence and awe felt by the Magi in the presence of the newborn savior. The inscription at the bottom of the print references the Gospel of Matthew, Chapter 2, further grounding the artwork within its religious context.
