Christus preekt voor het volk before 1556

Cornelis Bos's "Christus preekt voor het volk" (Christ Preaching to the People) is a powerful engraving dating from before 1556. The artwork depicts Christ preaching to a crowd, his hand raised in a gesture of authority, while figures in the foreground listen intently. The dramatic composition places Christ on a platform, emphasizing his position of leadership. Bos's detailed and intricate style creates a sense of depth and realism. The ruined architecture and the diverse crowd, all gazing towards Christ, further emphasize the importance of his message and the impact it had on his followers.
