Salomo ontvangt de koningin van Seba 1621

"Salomo ontvangt de koningin van Seba" (Solomon Receives the Queen of Sheba) is an etching created by Nicolaes de Bruyn in 1621. This artwork depicts the biblical story of the Queen of Sheba's visit to King Solomon. De Bruyn masterfully captures the grandeur of the event, showcasing Solomon seated on a throne, surrounded by his court, as the Queen of Sheba and her entourage kneel before him. The use of intricate detail and dramatic composition creates a powerful and evocative scene. The etching, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a fine example of Dutch Baroque art.
