Christus geneest twee blinden c. 1685 - 1700

This etching, "Christus geneest twee blinden," by Richard van Orley (1663-1732) was created sometime between 1685 and 1700. The artwork depicts a scene from the Bible where Jesus heals two blind men. The print captures the moment when Jesus encounters the blind men who are surrounded by a crowd. The composition is balanced and emphasizes the central figure of Jesus and the focus on the event. The print is characterized by its detailed rendering of figures and architectural elements, typical of the Baroque style. The scene unfolds in a public setting, which contrasts with the interior settings prevalent in religious art of the time.
