This etching by Raffaello Schiaminossi, titled “Christus tussen de schriftgeleerden in de tempel” (Christ among the Doctors in the Temple), depicts a scene from the Gospel of Luke, where a young Jesus engages in theological debate with learned scholars. The artwork, dated 1602-1604, showcases Schiaminossi's skill in rendering intricate detail and dynamic composition. The use of hatching and cross-hatching in the etching creates a sense of depth and texture, further enhancing the dramatic impact of the scene. This small-scale artwork, measuring 111 mm by 155 mm, is a fine example of Renaissance-inspired engraving and is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
