Christus als overwinnaar 1650 - 1672

This engraving, "Christus als overwinnaar," by Dutch artist Guillaume Altzenbach, depicts a complex and multi-layered interpretation of Christ's triumph over death. It represents the "Triumph of Christ" as depicted in the Book of Revelation, in which Christ is depicted as a powerful figure, rising above the clouds and surrounded by angels and other heavenly beings. The use of a chiaroscuro style with dramatic contrasts of light and shadow amplifies the sense of divine presence and glory. The composition is also notable for its dynamic energy, with figures and objects arranged in a swirling, upward motion that conveys a sense of ascension and triumph.
