Annunciatie, omgeven door profeten, linkerdeel 1571

"Annunciatie, omgeven door profeten, linkerdeel" is an engraving by Cornelis Cort, a Dutch artist active in the late 16th century. This artwork is part of a larger series of engravings depicting scenes from the life of the Virgin Mary, including the Annunciation, a central moment in Christian belief where the angel Gabriel informs Mary that she will conceive and bear the Son of God. Cort's masterful use of line and shading in this engraving creates a sense of depth and drama, highlighting the celestial scene with angels and prophets surrounding the central event. The print, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Cort's skill and reflects the prevailing religious art of the time.
