Christus stelt zijn discipelen een kind tot voorbeeld Possibly 1582 - 1654

This engraving by Pieter van der Borcht depicts a scene from the Gospel of Luke, where Christ tells his disciples that they must become like children to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Created sometime between 1582 and 1654, the artwork is a fine example of 16th-century printmaking. The scene is set in a lush landscape, with a large tree dominating the foreground. Christ stands in the center, surrounded by his disciples, with a small child in the foreground. The detail and composition of the artwork illustrate the artist's skill in depicting both the natural and spiritual world. The work is currently on display at the Rijksmuseum.
