Christ blessing little Children. Suffer Little Children to Come unto me 1660s

Jacob Jordaens's "Christ blessing little Children. Suffer Little Children to Come unto me", created in the 1660s, is a powerful depiction of the biblical story of Christ welcoming children. The painting showcases Jordaens's characteristic use of rich colors and dramatic lighting to portray the scene, focusing on the interaction between Christ and the children. The composition is dynamic, with a multitude of figures arranged in a spiral around a central figure of Christ, his outstretched arm offering a blessing to the children. This scene is one of the most popular subjects in art, and Jordaens's rendition is a testament to his skill and artistic sensibilities.
