The Entry into Jerusalem is a 1578 ink by Léonard Gaultier, a Renaissance work, depicting Biblical Magi, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows Jesus riding a donkey into Jerusalem. The artist used a lot of detail to show the scene. The scene is crowded with people and buildings, which makes it interesting because it gives a sense of what the city might have looked like back then. You can learn more about this style by looking at the work of artist: Gaultier, Léonard.
Léonard Gaultier, or, as he sometimes signed himself, Galter, a French engraver, was born at Mainz about 1561, and died in Paris in 1641.
