Jonge Christus tussen Maria en Jozef en boven hen Heilige Geest en God 1590 - 1610

This etching by Joan Berwinckel, created between 1590 and 1610, depicts the Holy Family: the Virgin Mary, Saint Joseph, and the young Christ. Above them, God the Father is shown in the clouds, with the Holy Spirit, in the form of a dove, descending upon Christ. The composition emphasizes the divine nature of Christ, surrounded by the figures of his parents and the Holy Trinity, highlighting the key tenets of Christian belief. This small-scale print, measuring 64mm in height and 44mm in width, would have likely been used as a devotional object, intended for personal contemplation and reflection.
