Vertrek uit de Sinaiwoestijn 1645 - 1740

"Vertrek uit de Sinaiwoestijn" is an engraving by Dutch artist Christoffel van (II) Sichem, dating from 1645-1740. The print, part of a series, depicts a biblical scene from the Book of Numbers, where the Ark of the Covenant, carried by priests, departs from Mount Sinai. It is a detailed and meticulously crafted image, showcasing the artist's mastery of engraving techniques. The scene is filled with figures, both in the foreground and the background, conveying the sense of movement and grandeur associated with the biblical event. This work, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to the power of visual storytelling and the artist's talent in capturing the essence of a pivotal moment in religious history.
