Landschap met het offer van Isaak 1551

Hieronymus Cock's "Landschap met het offer van Isaak" (1551) is a black and white engraving depicting the biblical story of Abraham's sacrifice of his son Isaac. The print's detailed composition showcases a mountainous landscape with a winding river, culminating in a dramatic scene of Abraham raising his knife towards Isaac. The scene is framed by a dense forest, with a towering tree on the right and a small village nestled in the distance, adding a sense of scale and depth. The artwork is housed in the Rijksmuseum, providing a fascinating glimpse into the artistic and religious traditions of the 16th century.
