Maria met Christuskind 1740

"Maria met Christuskind" is an etching created by Frederick Bloemaert in 1740. The artwork depicts the Virgin Mary cradling the Christ child in her arms. The composition is intimate, with Mary’s face turned downwards in contemplation. The artist, known for his skillful handling of light and shadow, employs a stark contrast between the dark figures and the light background, adding a sense of depth and drama to the scene. This etching can be found at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
