Drie heiligen als voorspraak voor slachtoffers van de pest after 1630

This etching, created by an anonymous artist after 1630, depicts three saints interceding for victims of the plague. The work, housed at the Rijksmuseum, displays a dramatic scene with figures in the foreground, including three people lying lifeless, while three saints in the sky pray for their salvation. The scene is rendered with stark detail and evokes a sense of despair and hope, reflecting the devastating impact of the plague on European society in the 17th century.
