Wonderbare visvangst 1609

"Wonderbare visvangst" is a 1609 engraving by Italian Renaissance artist Ugo da Carpi, known for his mastery of the chiaroscuro woodcut technique. This work depicts a scene of fishermen pulling in a net, with a figure, likely Jesus, seated in a boat and gesturing towards the catch. The dramatic use of light and shadow, characteristic of chiaroscuro, creates a sense of depth and realism in the figures and the mountainous landscape. The scene's simple composition and focus on human interaction make it a captivating and insightful piece.
