"Kristus bespiser de 5000. Omgivet af Jørgen Vinds aneskjolde" is a 1644 etching by the Danish artist Hans Andreas Greys. The print depicts the biblical story of the feeding of the 5,000, framed by a grid of shields representing the genealogy of the nobleman Jørgen Vind. This intricate composition, full of symbolism and detail, offers a glimpse into the artistic and social context of 17th-century Denmark. The combination of religious subject matter with heraldic imagery reflects the importance of faith and lineage in the society of the time. The artwork is currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, Copenhagen.
