Maria met Christuskind 1589 - 1667

"Maria met Christuskind" is an engraving from the 17th century, created by an anonymous artist. The engraving depicts the Virgin Mary holding the Christ child, a common subject in Renaissance art. The image showcases the artist's mastery of detail and the use of light and shadow to create a sense of depth and emotion. The engraving, measuring 75 mm in height and 53 mm in width, is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, offering a glimpse into the artistic traditions of its time. The engraving is likely a reproduction of a lost painting, as the inscription "B Spranger in" likely refers to the original artist, the Flemish painter Bartholomeus Spranger.
