Aanbidding door de herders 1629

"Aanbidding door de herders" (Adoration of the Shepherds) is a small woodcut print created in 1629 by Dutch artist Christoffel van (II) Sichem. The image depicts a scene from the Nativity story, where shepherds come to pay homage to the newborn baby Jesus. Sichem’s work is characterized by its intricate detail and use of strong contrasts between light and dark, which are typical of the Northern Renaissance style. This print is part of the Rijksmuseum collection in Amsterdam, Netherlands, and is a beautiful example of Sichem’s artistic skill.
