From the collection of Statens Museum for Kunst
Christ blessing little Children. Suffer Little Children to Come unto me is a 1664 by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This painting shows a large group of people gathered around a central figure in red robes. In the front, a woman in a white dress holds a baby while others reach toward the man, who is blessing children. Some figures are dressed in old-fashioned clothes, and a dog sits quietly near the bottom left. The background has a grand, arched setting with more people watching from above. The central figure’s calm expression stands out against the busy scene. The way light and shadow separate the figures creates a sense of depth and movement. Next, look up chiaroscuro to see how artists use light and shadow like this.
