Christus te gast bij Simon de Farizeeër before 1732

This etching, titled "Christus te gast bij Simon de Farizeeër," depicts a scene from the New Testament where Jesus is a guest at a dinner hosted by the Pharisee Simon. The piece was created by Gabriel Huquier, a prominent French engraver, before 1732. Huquier's skilled hand is evident in the detailed rendering of the figures and the carefully crafted composition, which centers around the table where Jesus and his followers dine with Simon and his guests. This artwork, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, showcases the enduring influence of biblical narratives on art, while also revealing Huquier's talent for capturing the drama and solemnity of religious scenes.
