De geboorte van Christus 1512 - 1516

"De geboorte van Christus" is a 16th-century woodcut by the Dutch artist Lucas van Leyden depicting the birth of Jesus Christ. The scene is set in a stable with Mary, Joseph, and the infant Jesus. The work highlights the use of detail and fine lines. The image's small size (112 mm x 83 mm) makes it a compact piece, likely intended for a personal devotion setting. Its inclusion in the Rijksmuseum collection speaks to the historical and artistic significance of Lucas van Leyden's work.
