Geboorte van Christus 1635 - 1694

"Geboorte van Christus" (Birth of Christ) is a small woodcut print created by Dutch artist Dirck de Bray between 1635 and 1694. The print depicts the Nativity scene, with Mary and Joseph at the center, tending to the newborn baby Jesus. The print is characterized by a simple, yet expressive style that emphasizes the religious narrative. De Bray's use of lines to create depth and texture in the image is evident in the depiction of the wooden beams surrounding the scene. This piece offers a glimpse into the artistic practice of the Dutch Golden Age, known for its focus on religious themes and meticulous attention to detail.
