Geboorte van Johannes de Doper after 1595

"Geboorte van Johannes de Doper" (Birth of John the Baptist) is a print created by Cornelis Galle I, a Flemish artist who lived from 1576-1650. The print depicts the scene of John the Baptist's birth, with Elizabeth, his mother, lying in bed, attended by midwives and other figures, including a male figure writing in a book, likely a scribe or a priest. The print, which measures 225 mm by 275 mm, is part of the Rijksmuseum's collection. The artwork is a classic example of Baroque art, with its dramatic use of light and shadow and its emphasis on detail and realism.
