Nebukadnessar beschuldigt Sadrach, Mesach en Abednego 1565 - 1579

This engraving by Philips Galle, titled "Nebukadnessar beschuldigt Sadrach, Mesach en Abednego" (Nebuchadnezzar Accuses Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego), depicts a scene from the Bible. It shows the Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar on horseback, confronting three Jewish men who refuse to worship a golden statue. Created between 1565 and 1579, the print emphasizes the dramatic moment of the narrative, using detailed linework and contrasting light and dark areas to create a sense of tension and grandeur. This print highlights the biblical story of faith and resistance, and is a testament to Galle's skill in capturing dynamic narratives through the medium of engraving.
