Dated 1576, the work demonstrates the stylistic characteristics of Northern Mannerism, a period defined by elongated figures, complex spatial arrangements, and a focus on dramatic narrative. Van den Broeck employs a combination of pen and brown ink with brown wash over black chalk to create depth and volume within the composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the centre, Christ kneels in prayer, his posture conveying a sense of resignation and spiritual weight. Above him, an angel appears, holding the instruments of the Passion, which serves to foreshadow the events to follow. In the foreground, the disciples are shown in various states of slumber, their heavy, draped garments rendered with fluid, calligraphic lines that define their forms against the rocky terrain. To the left, a group of soldiers approaches in the distance, adding a sense of impending tension to the quietude of the garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVan den Broeck was a versatile artist active in Antwerp, known for his work as a painter, draughtsman, and printmaker. His ability to manage multiple figures within a single frame is evident here, as he balances the divine presence of the angel with the human vulnerability of the sleeping disciples. The use of wash provides a soft, atmospheric quality, allowing the light to model the figures and the surrounding environment. This piece offers a clear view into the technical proficiency of sixteenth-century Flemish draughtsmanship, where the economy of line and the application of tone work in tandem to articulate a complex theological narrative. The work remains a fine example of the period's approach to religious iconography, prioritising emotional resonance through careful anatomical and spatial construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/fr\/products\/memory-of-a-voyage-rene-magritte\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eMemory of a Voyage - René Magritte — René Magritte\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/fr\/products\/portrait-of-charles-i-of-england-anthony-van-dyck\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePortrait of Charles I of England - Anthony van Dyck — Anthony van Dyck\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Chrispijn van den Broeck","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58794340417871,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58794377773391,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58794377806159,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58794377838927,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58794377871695,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58794377904463,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58794377937231,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58794377969999,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58794378002767,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58794378035535,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58794378068303,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58794378101071,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Christ-in-Gethsemane_Poster_CompositorV1_1789534509642.jpg?v=1789536349"},{"product_id":"moses-defending-the-daughters-of-jethro-chrispijn-van-den-broeck","title":"Moses Defending the Daughters of Jethro - Chrispijn van den Broeck","description":"\u003cp\u003eA refined sixteenth-century drawing by Chrispijn van den Broeck depicting the biblical encounter at the well, rendered in ink and grey wash.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis drawing by the Flemish artist Chrispijn van den Broeck depicts the biblical narrative of Moses assisting the daughters of Jethro at the well. The composition is characteristic of Northern Mannerism, featuring elongated figures and a complex, staged arrangement that guides the viewer through the interaction. Van den Broeck employs a combination of pen and brown ink with grey wash to define the forms, creating a sense of volume through light and shadow rather than colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe scene is populated with figures in period-appropriate attire, reflecting the sixteenth-century interpretation of ancient events. Moses stands as the central figure, his gesture directing the eye toward the women who have gathered at the well with their livestock. The inclusion of sheep in the foreground and the architectural elements of the well provide a sense of place, while the fluid, calligraphic line work demonstrates the artist's technical proficiency in draughtsmanship. The wash application is subtle, providing depth to the drapery and the surrounding environment without obscuring the underlying ink work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVan den Broeck was a versatile artist, active in Antwerp, whose output included paintings, prints, and designs for stained glass. His work often reflects the influence of Italian art, which he integrated into the Flemish tradition of his time. This particular study captures a moment of narrative tension, balanced by the calm, rhythmic placement of the figures. It is a fine example of the preparatory drawings produced in the late Renaissance period, where the focus remained on anatomical precision and narrative clarity. The work is preserved as a testament to the period's interest in classical and biblical themes, rendered with the characteristic elegance of the Flemish school.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/fr\/products\/memory-of-a-voyage-rene-magritte\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eMemory of a Voyage - René Magritte — René Magritte\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/fr\/products\/portrait-of-charles-i-of-england-anthony-van-dyck\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePortrait of Charles I of England - Anthony van Dyck — Anthony van Dyck\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Chrispijn van den Broeck","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58808221368655,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58808227987791,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58808228020559,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58808228053327,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58808228086095,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58808228118863,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58808228151631,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58808228184399,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58808228217167,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58808228249935,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58808228282703,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58808228315471,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Moses-Defending-the-Daughters-of-Jethro_Poster_CompositorV1_1789670492792.jpg?v=1789671118"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/fr\/collections\/chrispijn-van-den-broeck.oembed","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
