Christ Heals a Dumb Man is a 1578 ink by Léonard Gaultier, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This engraving depicts a scene where Christ is healing a dumb man. The dumb man is shown with his hands outstretched, while Christ places his hand on the man's forehead. In the background, a crowd of people watches the scene unfold. The engraving features intricate cross-hatching, which adds depth and texture to the image. The use of shading creates a sense of volume and dimensionality, drawing the viewer's eye to the central figures. The level of detail in the engraving is impressive, with each figure rendered with precision and care. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation, inviting the viewer to reflect on the scene before them. Next, explore the works of artist Gaultier, Léonard.
