Geboorte van Christus 1572 - 1628

"Geboorte van Christus" is a 17th-century engraving by Dutch artist Gijsbert van Veen, depicting the Nativity of Christ. The print showcases van Veen's mastery of detail as he meticulously portrays the scene with a focus on the Virgin Mary and a chorus of angels surrounding her. The artwork is characteristic of Baroque style with its dramatic use of light and shadow, creating a sense of awe and wonder. The composition, with the angels hovering above, emphasizes the divine presence in the humble setting.
