The composition is contained within an oval frame, a common device in late sixteenth and early seventeenth-century printmaking. Mary is shown in a moment of quiet contemplation, holding a book, which suggests her engagement with scripture at the time of the divine encounter. Her gaze is directed upwards, acknowledging the presence of the Holy Spirit, represented by the dove descending amidst rays of light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe artist employs precise, controlled lines to model the drapery of Mary's garments and the soft features of her face. The surrounding oval border contains Latin text, referencing the Gospel of Luke, which frames the central figure and integrates the narrative into the visual structure. Cherubic heads occupy the corners of the rectangular plate, providing a celestial context to the scene. The use of hatching and cross-hatching creates a sense of volume and depth, typical of the technical proficiency found in the Van de Passe workshop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrispijn van de Passe (I) was a prolific engraver and publisher based in the Netherlands. His work often disseminated religious and mythological themes to a wider audience through the medium of print. This particular piece demonstrates the influence of Mannerist aesthetics, seen in the elongated proportions and the expressive, slightly dramatic turn of the figure. The clarity of the engraving allows for a detailed examination of the textures, from the smooth skin of the cherubs to the heavy folds of the fabric. The inclusion of Latin inscriptions at the base provides additional theological context, inviting the viewer to reflect upon the significance of the event depicted.

The background includes a distant town, providing a sense of scale and depth to the narrative. The artist uses cross-hatching and varied line weights to define the textures of the clothing, the stone architecture, and the natural elements of the hillside. This work demonstrates the technical skill of the Van de Passe family, who were instrumental in the dissemination of prints across Europe during this period. The inclusion of the Latin inscription serves to frame the visual narrative within its theological context, inviting the viewer to consider the moral lesson of the parable through the lens of contemporary print culture.\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\/venus-and-cupid-in-a-niche-marcantonio-raimondi\" 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;\"\u003eVenus and Cupid in a Niche - Marcantonio Raimondi — Marcantonio Raimondi\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/fr\/products\/the-cordons-of-saint-francis-agostino-carracci\" 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;\"\u003eThe Cordons of Saint Francis - Agostino Carracci — Agostino Carracci\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Crispijn van de Passe the Elder","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58894906392911,"sku":null,"price":37.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58894979858767,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58894979891535,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58894979924303,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58894979957071,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58894979989839,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58894980022607,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58894980055375,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58894980088143,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58894980120911,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58894980153679,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58894980186447,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/The-Parable-of-the-Workers-in-the-Vineyard_Poster_CompositorV1_1790450919421.jpg?v=1790456312"},{"product_id":"maria-vergezeld-door-engel-crispijn-van-de-passe-i","title":"Maria vergezeld door engel - Crispijn van de Passe (I)","description":"\u003cp\u003eA 1603 engraving by Crispijn van de Passe (I) depicting the Virgin Mary in prayer with an angel, featuring detailed musical notation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis engraving by Crispijn van de Passe (I), dated 1603, depicts the Virgin Mary in a moment of quiet devotion, accompanied by an angel. The composition is characteristic of the Northern Mannerist style, which favoured precise line work and a high degree of technical control.

Van de Passe was a prolific Dutch engraver and draughtsman, known for his technical precision and his role in disseminating religious and mythological imagery across Europe during the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries.

Above the central text, a cartouche features the Agnus Dei, or Lamb of God, carrying a cross-staff, which reinforces the sacrificial theme of the series.
