Christus spreekt met Nicodemus bij nacht 1590 - 1622

This engraving by Boëtius Adamsz. Bolswert, titled "Christus spreekt met Nicodemus bij nacht" (Christ Speaks with Nicodemus at Night), depicts a scene from the Gospel of John. It shows Christ and Nicodemus seated in a room illuminated by a single candle, engaged in a conversation. The image is set within a complex visual framework, with two circular vignettes at the top depicting other biblical scenes, adding a sense of depth and complexity. The scene is rendered in a precise and detailed style, typical of 17th-century Dutch engravings, and the work would have been intended for devotional purposes.
