Christus geneest twee blinden en een bezetene 1485 - 1491

This small woodcut, titled "Christ Healing Two Blind Men and a Possessed Man," was created by the Master of Antwerp. Notice how the composition is structured around a clear division between darkness and light. The figures on the left are shaded with darker tones, symbolizing their affliction, while Christ stands bathed in a brighter aura on the right. Linear patterns define the robes and faces, but also to suggest depth and texture. The lines create a sense of movement and emotion, emphasizing the chaotic state of the possessed man. This use of line is not merely descriptive; it actively shapes the narrative and emotional tone of the scene. The figures are tightly packed, which adds to the intensity of the moment. This dense arrangement contrasts with the relatively empty space around Christ, further emphasizing his divine presence. Ultimately, it shows how formal qualities of line, light, and composition come together to express themes of suffering and redemption.
