Sint-Alfonsus wordt door Maria met kind geïnspireerd 1831 - 1890

This 19th-century engraving by Jean Baptiste Pierre Michiels depicts Saint Alphonsus de Liguori being inspired by the Virgin Mary and Child. The scene is set in a church, with Saint Alphonsus seated at a desk, writing in a book. Above him, Mary and Child are surrounded by angels. The work, which is currently part of the Rijksmuseum collection, is an example of the popularity of religious imagery in 19th-century art and highlights the significant role of faith in the lives of many people during this period.
