Maria met Christus en Johannes de Doper als kinderen 1794 - 1795

This mezzotint, created by Valentine Green between 1794 and 1795, depicts the Virgin Mary with the infant Jesus and John the Baptist. The scene is a traditional subject in religious art, showcasing the divine nature of Christ as a child. Green’s meticulous technique, capturing the soft textures and delicate details of the figures, beautifully conveys the tender and intimate moment between the three. The print, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to the artist’s mastery of the mezzotint process and the lasting power of religious imagery.
