This engraving by Cornelis Galle I, titled "Raimundus van Capua bezoekt Catharina thuis en treft Christus aan", depicts a scene from the life of Saint Catherine of Siena. Created in 1603, the artwork showcases the moment when the saint, lying in bed, is visited by Christ, who appears in a radiant glow. Raimundus van Capua, Catherine's confessor, stands witness to this miraculous encounter. This print, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a fine example of 17th-century religious art and provides a glimpse into the piety of the time.
