The work was created based on an original painting by Peter Paul Rubens and engraved by master Lucas Vorsterman in 1620. Detailed processing and Baroque drama The work stands out for its typical Baroque dynamism, play of light and shadow, and masterful presentation of the emotions of the characters. The composition is rich in details - from the facial expressions of the Virgin Mary and the shepherds to small elements of the environment, such as decorative textiles, vessels, or light penetrating through the angelic figures. Historical significance This print was dedicated to Peter Pecquiu, a prominent Brabant chancellor, as evidenced by the Latin inscription at the bottom of the print. At the time of its creation, the work was among the top artistic engravings that Rubens personally approved. Condition: very good, without damage. Date: 19th century, framed in a modern style. Dimensions: with frame: height 96 cm, width 77.5 cm without frame: height 60 cm, width 45 cm See less
