Bilder Boetius Adams Bolswert after Abraham Bloemaert – Religious Engraving – Ductus est IESVS in desertum / Christ Led into the Wilderness (1619)
Beskrivning
Engraving by Boetius Adams Bolswert after Abraham Bloemaert, published in Antwerp, 1619.
This powerful religious composition shows the temptation of Christ in the wilderness, where the devil offers him worldly power symbolized by a crown or treasure. Christ, seated in serene resistance, raises his hand in refusal. The Latin inscription Ductus est IESVS in desertum ("Jesus was led into the wilderness") refers to the Gospel passage recounting Christ's forty days of fasting and temptation by Satan. The scene is rendered with dramatic contrasts and precise detail, reflecting the deeply moral and didactic nature of early Baroque religious art.
Boetius Adams Bolswert was a prominent Flemish engraver born in the late 16th century, known for his masterful and detailed engravings. He worked closely with Peter Paul Rubens, one of the most influential artists of the Baroque period, producing prints that disseminated Rubens' works to a wider audience. Bolswert's engravings are celebrated for their technical skill and artistic quality, contributing significantly to the spread of Baroque art throughout Europe. His works remain highly regarded in the history of printmaking for their precision and beauty.
