"Christus in gesprek met Nikodemus" is a 17th-century etching by Dutch artist Pieter Fransz. de Grebber. The print depicts a scene from the Gospel of John, where Jesus is teaching Nicodemus, a Jewish leader, about being born again. The artwork is noted for its detailed depiction of the figures, particularly their facial expressions and gestures. The use of light and shadow adds depth to the scene, highlighting the intensity of the conversation between the two men. The composition is intimate and focused, drawing the viewer into the spiritual exchange. This etching, created between 1610 and 1655, is a fine example of de Grebber's skill in representing religious narratives.
