H. Stanislaus Kostka met het Christuskind in de armen 1586 - 1650

This etching by Cornelis Galle I, dating from 1586 to 1650, depicts Saint Stanislaus Kostka kneeling and holding the Christ child. The scene is illuminated by a radiant glow, with three angels hovering above. The detailed depiction of the figures and the surrounding landscape, including a balustrade and trees, highlights the skill of the artist. This engraving, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to the religious fervor of the period and the artistic mastery of Galle I, a renowned printmaker.
