Niccolò Vicentino's "Christus geneest melaatsen" (Christ Heals Lepers) is a powerful 1608 etching depicting a biblical scene. The artwork showcases a dynamic composition, with Christ standing center-stage and surrounded by a throng of lepers. The lepers, rendered with emotive detail, reach out towards Christ in supplication, highlighting the desperation and hope associated with their condition. The etching’s use of light and shadow further amplifies the drama of the scene, emphasizing the divine power radiating from Christ.
