Maria vermeerdert brood dat Catharina aan de armen kan uitdelen 1603

Cornelis Galle I’s 1603 engraving "Maria vermeerdert brood dat Catharina aan de armen kan uitdelen" depicts the Virgin Mary, surrounded by a halo of light, giving bread to a kneeling woman. The scene takes place in a church or a monastery, as seen in the background, and the image is set in the context of a religious event. This engraving, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a classic example of a 17th-century print, featuring a detailed and intricate depiction of the religious scene. It would have been intended for a devotional audience and reflects the beliefs and artistic styles of the time.
