Aanbidding door de koningen 1638

"Aanbidding door de koningen" is an etching created by Michel Dorigny in 1638. The scene depicts the biblical story of the Three Wise Men presenting gifts to the baby Jesus. Dorigny's use of detailed linework and shading emphasizes the grandeur and solemnity of the event. This etching is an example of the Baroque style, characterized by dramatic composition and a focus on the emotions and faith of the figures involved. The composition is dynamic, with the figures arranged in a spiral that draws the viewer's eye to the central figure of the baby Jesus. This work is a testament to Dorigny's skill as an engraver and his understanding of the power of religious imagery.
