This anonymous engraving from 1561, titled "Gideon og hans mænd ødelægger Baals alter," depicts a biblical scene of the destruction of an altar to the pagan god Baal. The image shows a group of men, likely representing Gideon and his men, dismantling the altar, while others in the background carry out other related tasks. The engraving, created using the technique of etching, is an example of the graphic arts popular in the 16th century and provides a vivid illustration of the story from the Book of Judges.
