Geboorte van Johannes de Doper en Maria en Jozef melden zich aan bij de volkstelling te Bethlehem 1791

"Geboorte van Johannes de Doper en Maria en Jozef melden zich aan bij de volkstelling te Bethlehem" is an engraving by Jacob Folkema, a Dutch artist active in the 18th century. This print, housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts two scenes from the Bible: the birth of John the Baptist and the journey of Mary and Joseph to Bethlehem for the census. Folkema's precise and detailed style, characteristic of the period, depicts the scenes with a sense of realism and historical accuracy. This print was likely intended for a devotional audience, as it illustrates key events from the life of Jesus.
