Heilige Nicolaas wekt drie kinderen weer tot leven

description

Summary

Op de voorgrond wekt de heilige Nicolaas drie kinderen tot leven, die door een herbergier in stukken waren gesneden en in een pekelton lagen. Op de achtergrond rechts toont de naastenliefde van de heilige Nicolaas, die in het geheim geld geeft aan een man voor de bruidschat van zijn drie dochters. De prent heeft een Latijns onderschrift.

Since the 16th century, Dutch artists used prints to promote their art and access a wider public than what was possible for a single painting. During the Dutch Golden Age, (17th century), Dutch artists perfected the techniques of etching and engraving. The rise of printmaking in the Netherlands is attributed to a connection between Italy and the Netherlands during the 1500s. Together with the large-scale production, it allowed the expanding reach of an artist’s work. Prints were popular as collecting items, so publishing houses commissioned artists to create a drawing or a painting, and then print the work for collectors - similar to what occurs at publishing houses today. Dutch printmaking evolved rapidly, so in 16th-century etching prevailed over the engraving. Major Dutch Printmaker Artists: Hieronymus Bosch, Pieter Bruegel the Elder, Hendrick Goltzius, Rembrandt van Rijn, Anna Maria van Schurman, Adriaen Jansz van Ostade, Ferdinand Bol.
