Visioen van de maagd Maria met Christuskind 1622

Cornelis Galle I's "Visioen van de maagd Maria met Christuskind" (1622) depicts a kneeling figure of Saint Norbert of Xanten in prayer before the Virgin Mary and Christ child. The scene is framed by a vaulted ceiling and includes a figure in the background reading from a book. This etching, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, provides a striking example of Galle's mastery of detail and his ability to convey religious devotion. The scene is reminiscent of Baroque art and features a dramatic use of light and shadow to emphasize the figures' importance.
