The Entry into Jerusalem

"The Entry into Jerusalem", a print created in 1635, captures a pivotal moment in Christian history. This detailed work, currently housed in the National Gallery of Art, measures 0.086 meters high and 0.068 meters wide. The artist skillfully depicts Jesus Christ riding a donkey, entering Jerusalem amidst a throng of people. Notice the expressions of reverence and excitement on their faces, some kneeling in adoration, others waving palm branches in celebration. The scene is further enriched by the inclusion of architectural elements and palm trees in the background, transporting us to this significant event.
