Maria met Kind en engelen c. 1595 - 1610

"Maria met Kind en engelen" (c. 1595 - 1610) is an etching by Ludovico Carracci, a prominent Italian painter and printmaker. Depicting the Virgin Mary holding the Christ Child, surrounded by cherubs, this work exemplifies Carracci's refined drawing style. The intricate detail of the figures' drapery and the delicate rendering of the cherubs' wings showcase the artist's mastery of chiaroscuro and anatomical accuracy. This print, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, highlights the influence of Mannerist and Renaissance traditions on Carracci's work.
