Debora 1588 - 1595

"Debora" is an engraving by Flemish artist Jan (II) Collaert created between 1588 and 1595. The artwork, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, depicts the biblical figure of Deborah, a prophetess and judge, sitting on a hill with a palm tree above her. The scene portrays Deborah as a powerful figure, suggesting her role in leading the Israelites to victory against the Canaanites. Collaert's work is an example of the popular art form of engraved prints, which was widely accessible and helped to spread religious narratives.
