Christ's Entrance into Jerusalem, from The Passion of Christ, plate 2 1664

This 1664 etching by Grégoire Huret depicts a scene from the Bible: Christ's Triumphant Entry into Jerusalem. The artwork portrays the moment when Jesus is welcomed by a large crowd, who lay down their cloaks in his path. Angels are also present, their wings spread open in celebration. Huret's detailed depiction of the scene, with its vibrant use of light and shadow, and the emotional intensity of the figures, gives the viewer a powerful glimpse into the story of Jesus's sacrifice. The artwork, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, is a testament to the enduring power of the Bible and its influence on art history.
