This etching by Reinier Vinkeles depicts a scene from the life of Saint Willibrord, an Anglo-Saxon missionary credited with bringing Christianity to the Netherlands. The artwork, titled "Op bevel van Willibrord wordt het afgodsbeeld van Wodan te Westkapelle verbrijzeld, 695," translates to "On the order of Willibrord the idol of Wodan at Westkapelle is shattered, 695." The scene shows Willibrord in the center, surrounded by figures, who are shattering a pagan idol. This artwork, created between 1783 and 1799, is a testament to Vinkeles' skill as an engraver and offers a glimpse into the Dutch artistic and religious landscape of the 18th century. The etching is currently held in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
