Christuskind op een regenboog 1506 - 1538

"Christuskind op een regenboog" is an engraving by German artist Albrecht Altdorfer, created between 1506 and 1538. The artwork depicts a young Christ child standing on a rainbow, holding a globe in his left hand and raising his right hand in a gesture of blessing. The composition is characterized by its delicate lines and detailed rendering of the figure and surrounding light. This engraving is a testament to Altdorfer's skill in creating a small but expressive representation of Christ, a popular theme in Renaissance art.
