Maria met Kind en Elisabet met de jonge Johannes de Doper c. 1619

This etching by Italian artist Angelo Falco, created around 1619, depicts a scene from the Bible. It shows the meeting of Mary, holding the infant Jesus, with Elizabeth and the young John the Baptist. The detailed rendering of the figures and their garments, along with the delicate drapery and distant landscape, showcases Falco's skill in etching. This intimate moment of religious encounter was a popular theme in art during the Baroque period, and Falco's work embodies the characteristic dramatic composition and expressive figures of this style.
