Maria zoogt het Christuskind 1615 - 1691

"Maria zoogt het Christuskind" is a 17th-century etching depicting the Virgin Mary breastfeeding the Christ Child. The composition is intimate and tender, with Mary's gaze focused intently on the infant Jesus. Above them, three angels appear, their wings and faces suggesting a heavenly presence. The artist's skillful use of shading and line creates a sense of depth and realism, while the subject matter speaks to the central themes of Christian faith and devotion. This artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the enduring power of religious imagery and the enduring skill of anonymous artists.
