"Christus verschijnt aan de mensen tijdens de Apocalyps" (Christ Appears to the People During the Apocalypse) is an etching by the German Baroque artist Georg David Nessenthaler, created in 1730. The print depicts a dramatic scene from the Book of Revelation, with Christ appearing in the clouds above a large crowd of people, accompanied by angels. The etching is notable for its detailed and expressive rendering of the figures and the surrounding landscape. Nessenthaler's work often focused on religious themes, and this etching is a testament to his skill as a draughtsman and printmaker. The work is typical of Baroque style etchings with its dramatic use of light and shadow and highly detailed figures. The inscription on the bottom of the etching gives more detail about its creation, perhaps alluding to a specific event or historical moment. This work would have been popular among devout Christian audiences and still attracts viewers interested in religious artwork and the historical context of Baroque art.
