Christus op de koude steen 1510 - 1569

"Christus op de koude steen" (Christ on the Cold Stone) is a 16th-century etching by Jacob Binck, a Dutch printmaker known for his religious scenes. The artwork, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, depicts Christ seated on a stone, his head crowned with thorns, a symbol of his suffering. Binck uses detailed hatching to portray the figure's anatomy and the textures of the surrounding elements, creating a powerful image of Christ's isolation and contemplation.
