Christus geneest de man met waterzucht 1590 - 1622

This engraving, *Christus geneest de man met waterzucht* by Boëtius Adamsz. Bolswert, depicts the biblical story of Jesus healing a man with dropsy on the Sabbath. The scene is set in a crowded room, with Jesus in the center surrounded by onlookers. The man with dropsy kneels before Jesus, while others watch intently. This engraving, created between 1590 and 1622, showcases the artist's skill in depicting detailed figures and a sense of depth. The engraving's inscription in Latin, *De hydropico, et vocandis ad convivium, Luc. 14*, references the relevant passage in the Gospel of Luke. This work, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to the enduring power of faith and healing, as depicted in the Bible.
