Bewening 1546 - 1562

"Bewening" (1546 - 1562) is an engraving by Flemish artist Frans Huys (1522 - 1562). The artwork depicts the lamentations of the women after the death of Christ. The scene features a group of women around Christ's body, with a distant cityscape in the background. It is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam. The fine detail and dramatic composition of the artwork are characteristic of Huys's style, making this piece a notable example of religious engraving of the 16th century.
