Christus geneest een bezeten jongen 1590 - 1622

This engraving by Boëtius Adamsz. Bolswert, titled *Christus geneest een bezeten jongen* (*Christ Heals a Demoniac Boy*), depicts a scene from the Gospel of Mark, in which Jesus casts a demon out of a young boy. The image depicts the dramatic moment of the exorcism, with Jesus standing at the center surrounded by a crowd, while a man, presumably the boy's father, kneels at his feet. This artwork, likely created between 1590 and 1622, is part of a larger series illustrating the life of Christ. The detailed composition, the clear depiction of emotions, and the use of light and shadow create a dynamic and engaging scene. *Christus geneest een bezeten jongen* is an example of a popular genre of religious art in the 17th century, highlighting the power of faith and the miracles attributed to Jesus.
