Conversatie tussen de heilige Norbertus en abt Connon 1622

"Conversatie tussen de heilige Norbertus en abt Connon" is an etching created by Cornelis Galle I in 1622. The artwork depicts a conversation between Saint Norbert and Abbot Connon, surrounded by other figures in a grand hall. This scene is part of a larger series of engravings depicting the life of Saint Norbert, the founder of the Premonstratensian Order. The detailed composition, with its emphasis on architectural elements, figures in various poses, and rich textures, showcases Galle’s mastery of the etching technique, and highlights the devotional character of the artwork. This engraving, housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a small yet powerful depiction of the saint's life and work, reflecting the rich history of religious art in the Netherlands.
