Kruisiging van Christus 1602 - 1604

This etching, "Kruisiging van Christus" (Crucifixion of Christ), was created by the Italian artist Raffaello Schiaminossi between 1602 and 1604. The small-scale print (113 x 156 mm) depicts the central scene of the crucifixion, with Christ on the cross surrounded by grieving figures. The artist uses detailed linework to render the figures, creating a sense of pathos and drama. The etching is an excellent example of the Baroque style, which emphasized emotional intensity and dramatic composition. Schiaminossi's "Kruisiging van Christus" is now in the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
