Christus en Johannes met het Lam 1665

This etching, "Christus en Johannes met het Lam" (Christ and John with the Lamb), was created by Johannes van Seegen in 1665. The artwork depicts a scene of the youthful Christ and John the Baptist embracing, with a lamb, representing Christ as the Lamb of God, at their feet. The detailed hatching and cross-hatching of the etching create a sense of depth and volume, enhancing the tender and intimate moment between the figures. This print is a fine example of the artist's skill in rendering both the human form and the natural world with great accuracy and sensitivity.
