Het huwelijk van Maria met Jozef after 1590

This anonymous etching, "Het huwelijk van Maria met Jozef" (The Marriage of Mary and Joseph), depicts the biblical scene of Joseph and Mary's marriage, a crucial moment in the Christian narrative. The composition is set in a grand, architectural space, with a central focus on the couple and the priest who unites them. The light source highlights the event, radiating from a dove above. This artwork, dated after 1590, is a prime example of a print that utilizes the technique of etching, a process where the artist uses acid to create lines and shapes. The print is currently held at the Rijksmuseum.
