This anonymous 17th-century engraving, "Communie van de H. Bonaventura," depicts the holy communion of Saint Bonaventure. The central figure of the composition is Saint Bonaventure, who is receiving communion from a priest while two angels flank him. The scene is set in an ornate, vaulted room. This piece is a prime example of Baroque religious artwork from the Dutch Golden Age. The intricate details and dynamic composition, including the angels, emphasize the sacredness and gravity of the moment.
