Aanbidding door de koningen 1535 - 1601

"Aanbidding door de koningen" is an engraving created by Giovanni Battista Cavalieri between 1535 and 1601. The artwork depicts the biblical scene of the three wise men offering gifts to the baby Jesus, with Mary and Joseph present. The detailed engraving uses light and shadow to create depth and dimension. The composition is balanced, with the figures arranged in a circle around the central figure of Jesus. The background features a city, suggestive of a distant, grand world. This engraving is a prime example of Renaissance art, showcasing the style’s interest in realism and classical themes.
