De aarde c. 1758 - 1760

"De Aarde" (The Earth) is an etching by Dutch artist Jakob Wangner dating back to 1758 - 1760. The piece depicts a scene from the Old Testament, where the earth opens up and consumes Korah and his followers, a punishment for their rebellion against Moses. The image features a dramatic landscape of swirling smoke and flames, with a woman standing in the foreground holding a branch and a group of figures on a rocky outcropping. The etching was created for the series "Die Erden" and is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
