H. Familie met Elisabet, Zacharias en Johannes de Doper c. 1620 - 1625

Cornelis Galle I's etching "H. Familie met Elisabet, Zacharias en Johannes de Doper," dating from c. 1620-1625, depicts a meeting of the Holy Family with Elizabeth, Zacharias, and John the Baptist. The scene takes place outdoors in a picturesque setting, and the figures are rendered with detailed realism. The etching's composition is balanced, with the figures arranged in a symmetrical grouping that creates a sense of harmony. This print is an example of Galle's mastery of the etching technique. The delicate lines and nuanced shading add depth and texture to the image.
