Madonna met Kind en Johannes de Doper 1618 - 1655

This etching by Flemish artist Cornelis Schut, created between 1618 and 1655, depicts the Madonna and Child with John the Baptist. The image showcases Schut's masterful use of line and shading to create a sense of depth and volume, particularly in the drapery and the figures' forms. The delicate details and the expressive gestures of the figures highlight the devotional nature of the subject, drawing viewers into the intimate scene of a mother's love and the promise of salvation. This print, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, demonstrates Schut's skill in etching and his ability to capture the spirit of Baroque religious art.
