H. Veronica met het sudarium before 1620

"H. Veronica met het sudarium" is an engraving created by the Flemish artist Wierix sometime before 1620. This piece, currently held in the Rijksmuseum, depicts the iconic image of Veronica's veil with the face of Christ imprinted upon it. The central figure, likely representing Veronica, holds the cloth aloft, flanked by two angels, one holding a spear. In the background, God appears in the clouds, a testament to the divine origin of the relic. This artwork, like many of Wierix's prints, focuses on a specific religious moment, making it a powerful visual representation of faith for viewers.
