Verschijning van Maria met het Christuskind aan Sint-Dominicus 1817 - 1891

This black and white print, "Verschijning van Maria met het Christuskind aan Sint-Dominicus," by Belgian artist Joseph Meganck, depicts a scene from the life of Saint Dominic. The image shows the Virgin Mary, holding the Christ child, appearing before Saint Dominic, who kneels in prayer and holds out his hand toward her. The scene is set in a landscape with a dog and a book in the foreground, and clouds with angels in the background. This work is typical of Meganck's style, which was inspired by the art of the 17th century, known for its religious themes and detailed depictions of figures. This print was likely created for private devotion or for use in a Catholic church.
