Allegorie met Christus die zijn wonden toont c. 1537 - 1555

"Allegorie met Christus die zijn wonden toont" (c. 1537-1555) is an engraving by Cornelis Bos (1510-1556), now in the Rijksmuseum. It depicts a complex allegorical scene with Christ, an angel offering a chalice of wine, a woman in a flowing robe, a child, a demon, and a skull. This engraving presents a visual exploration of the theological themes of salvation and the triumph of Christ over death and sin. The detailed figures and dramatic composition are characteristic of Bos’s work and exemplify the style of Northern Renaissance art. This piece is a valuable example of the artistic trends and religious discourse of the 16th century.
