Visitatie 1618 - 1655

"Visitatie" (1618-1655) is an etching by Flemish artist Cornelis Schut. The work depicts the biblical scene of the Visitation, in which the Virgin Mary visits her cousin Elizabeth, who is pregnant with John the Baptist. The scene is set in an architectural space, likely a courtyard, with the figures positioned in a dramatic and theatrical manner. The etching is a testament to Schut's mastery of light and shadow, creating a sense of depth and volume. The delicate lines of the etching capture the details of the figures' clothing and the surrounding architecture. This etching is an example of Schut's style, which was influenced by Italian Renaissance art, particularly the works of Raphael and Michelangelo.
