Hendrick Goltzius's "Wonderen van Christus" (1578) is an intricate engraving that showcases the artist's mastery of detail and composition. The artwork depicts a scene from the life of Christ, likely a miracle, surrounded by a decorative frame filled with allegorical figures, symbols, and biblical references. This work is a prime example of Goltzius's artistic style, combining elements of Mannerism and Renaissance art. It's a visual feast that offers a glimpse into the intricate worldview of 16th-century Europe, where religious imagery played a vital role in daily life.
