16th Century

Museo Arocena

Museo Arocena
Torreón, Mexico

The distribution of the four figures in this scene provides a long trajectory of transformation and adaptation of the original which was done in 1520 by the Flemish artist, Quentin Massys (1466-1530). The delicate details were simplified by the engravers of the era; the most important of which was Maerten de Vos (1532-1603), until it converges in the conventional typology derived from prints in the Arocena collection.
