The Little Jesus In The Temple 

Domenico Beccafumi's "The Little Jesus In The Temple" depicts a scene from the New Testament, showcasing the young Jesus engaged in debate with learned men in the temple. The artwork features a dramatic composition with figures arranged around a central platform, creating a sense of dynamism and intellectual engagement. Beccafumi, a prominent Italian painter of the 16th century, is known for his intricate detail and skillful rendering of human figures, evident in this print. The scene highlights the precocious nature of Jesus and his profound understanding of scripture, a key theme explored in the biblical narrative. This scene, often referred to as the "Disputation of Jesus" in art, served as a powerful symbol of Jesus's divine wisdom and authority.
