Wonderbaarlijke vermenigvuldiging van broden en vissen door Christus 1590 - 1622

Boëtius Adamsz. Bolswert’s engraving, *Wonderbaarlijke vermenigvuldiging van broden en vissen door Christus,* depicts the biblical miracle of the feeding of the five thousand. The scene is set in a mountainous landscape where Jesus, seated in the center, performs the miracle by multiplying the bread and fish. The figures surrounding him, both men and women, are seated or standing in a composition that emphasizes the awe and wonder of the moment. This artwork, likely dating from 1590 to 1622, is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. This engraving exemplifies the artist's talent for depicting both the grandeur of the event and the emotional impact it had on the witnesses.
