Maria met kind en Jozef 1510 - 1569

Jacob Binck's "Maria met kind en Jozef" is a 16th-century engraving that depicts the Virgin Mary holding the Christ Child, with Saint Joseph and two angels looking on. The scene is set against a background of radiating light, symbolizing the divine nature of the figures. Binck's mastery of detail is evident in the intricate folds of Mary's robe, the delicate features of the angels, and the subtle expressions on the faces of Mary and Joseph. This engraving is a beautiful example of the Northern Renaissance style, characterized by meticulous detail and a focus on religious themes. The print, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Binck's skill as a printmaker and his ability to capture the beauty and grace of the Virgin Mary.
