"A Man Born Blind Receives Sight" is an engraving from the late 16th century by French artist Léonard Gaultier, depicting the biblical miracle of Jesus restoring the sight of a blind man. The artwork is known for its detailed rendering of the scene, with the figures of Jesus, the blind man, and the onlookers portrayed with great precision. The engraving showcases Gaultier's skill in capturing the drama and emotion of the moment, emphasizing the contrast between the blind man's previous darkness and the newfound light he receives. This work was likely intended to be a devotional image for a private Christian audience, providing a visual representation of the miracle and its significance.
