This engraving, "Christus als Salvator Mundi" (Christ as Savior of the World), was created by Cornelis Galle I, a prominent printmaker in the 17th century. The work, dated between 1586 and 1633, depicts Jesus Christ as a bust, radiating light and holding a globe, symbolizing his dominion over the world. The engraving is a striking example of religious art, where the artist utilizes intricate lines and shading to capture the divine presence of Christ. It currently resides in the Rijksmuseum, a renowned art museum in Amsterdam.
