Gods verbond met Abraham; Jakob zalft de steen waarop hij geslapen heeft 1645 - 1646

Christoffel van (II) Sichem’s "Gods verbond met Abraham; Jakob zalft de steen waarop hij geslapen heeft" is a 17th-century woodcut depicting the biblical story of Jacob's dream, in which he sees a ladder reaching to heaven. The image shows Jacob kneeling and pouring oil on the stone where he slept, while God appears in the sky. The intricate detail of the woodcut emphasizes the religious theme through the use of strong lines and contrasts, highlighting the symbolism of the dream. This small-scale artwork, now in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the use of woodcut printing in disseminating religious narratives during the 17th century.
