Christus zegent de kinderen 1841 - 1927

"Christus zegent de kinderen" (Christ Blesses the Children) is a black and white engraving by Rudolf Stang, created between 1841 and 1927. The scene depicts a biblical event where Jesus welcomes children, inviting them to come to him, as described in the Gospel of Mark. The print, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Stang's skill in rendering detail and conveying emotion in a classic, religious artwork. The image's composition highlights the compassionate gesture of Jesus reaching out to the children, a central theme of the Christian faith.
