Mis van de Heilige Gregorius met verschijning van Christus 1625 - 1670

This etching, titled "Mis van de Heilige Gregorius met verschijning van Christus" (Mass of Saint Gregory with the apparition of Christ) by Mattheus Borrekens, depicts a scene of a Catholic Mass. It is a complex and detailed work that shows a gathering of clergy in a church, with the figure of Christ, adorned with a halo and a cross, appearing in the clouds above. The scene is further enriched by the presence of angels and other figures, all contributing to the solemnity and grandeur of the moment. The engraving's intricate detail and use of light and shadow contribute to its powerful impact. This piece, created between 1625 and 1670, provides a glimpse into the rich iconography and artistic traditions of the Catholic faith.
