Christuskind aanbeden door drie engelen 1642 - 1657

Bartolomeo Biscaino's "Christuskind aanbeden door drie engelen" (Christ Child Adored by Three Angels) is a 17th-century etching that showcases the artist's talent for depicting religious scenes with a dramatic flair. The artwork, measuring just 202 mm in height and 130 mm in width, depicts the adoration of the Christ Child by three angels in a dynamic composition, filled with swirling drapery and ethereal light. The use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and movement, while the detailed rendering of the figures and their expressions evokes a sense of awe and reverence. Biscaino, who died at the young age of 28, is known for his skill in creating expressive and dramatic etchings, many of which explore religious themes.
