"Monstrans met God, Maria en Johannes" is an etching created by French artist Claude Mellan between 1608 and 1688. The artwork depicts a monstrance, a liturgical vessel used in the Catholic Church, with cherubs, clouds, and the figures of God, Mary, and John the Baptist. The intricate details of the monstrans, the sweeping clouds, and the dramatic portrayal of the figures are characteristic of Mellan's style. The etching is now housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
