Maria aanbidt het slapende Christuskind 1595 - 1600

This engraving by Johann Sadeler I depicts the Virgin Mary worshipping the sleeping Christ Child. The image is notable for the striking use of light, which emanates from behind Mary and illuminates the scene. This, along with the inscription, creates a sense of reverence and devotion to the image. The scene is typical of the Northern Renaissance, where religious imagery was popular and artists employed engraving techniques to reproduce and distribute artwork. This print was created between 1595 and 1600, shortly before Sadeler's death.
