Mozes en de brandende braamstruik c. 1711s

This etching, titled "Mozes en de brandende braamstruik" (Moses and the burning bush) by Andries van (Sr.) Buysen, depicts a scene from the Bible in which God appears to Moses in the form of a burning bush. Moses, kneeling in the foreground, witnesses an angel emerging from the flames. This scene is a powerful depiction of God’s revelation and the calling of Moses to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. Buysen’s detailed etching uses light and shadow to create a dramatic and evocative image that has resonated with viewers for centuries.
