Juni 17th century

This 17th-century woodcut, "Juni," depicts the biblical story of the miraculous feeding of the five thousand. An anonymous artist created this small-scale print (34 mm x 55 mm), showcasing the scene's dramatic elements through detailed linework. The composition focuses on Jesus, radiating a divine light, as he directs his disciples to distribute bread and fish to the vast crowd. The use of hatching and crosshatching provides a sense of depth and texture, enhancing the narrative's impact. This print, while diminutive in size, effectively captures the awe and wonder of this significant biblical event.
