Joshua staande bij de lichamen van vier verslagen koningen 1530 - 1533

This anonymous woodcut, dating from 1530-1533, depicts a scene from the Book of Joshua. Joshua stands triumphantly over the bodies of four slain kings, a testament to his victory. The composition, characterized by sharp lines and detailed figures, is typical of Northern Renaissance woodcuts. This small artwork, measuring 50mm x 70mm, showcases a key moment in the biblical narrative of conquest, highlighting the power and authority of the Israelite leader. The woodcut, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the artistic practices and religious interpretations of the early 16th century.
