Joachim en Anna after 1590

"Joachim en Anna" is an etching created by an anonymous artist after 1590. The artwork depicts the biblical story of Joachim and Anna, the parents of the Virgin Mary, meeting at the Golden Gate. This scene is a common subject in religious art, as it symbolizes the promise of the future birth of Jesus. The composition is simple, with the figures placed in the foreground, and a landscape behind them. The light in the etching is soft, creating a sense of peace and solemnity, a common feature in religious art. This print is part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
