Inwoners van Nazareth verdrijven Christus uit de stad 1581

Johann Sadeler I’s 1581 engraving, "Inwoners van Nazareth verdrijven Christus uit de stad," depicts the moment when Jesus is chased out of his hometown, Nazareth, by a mob. The scene, set against the backdrop of a city nestled amongst mountains, shows a central figure of Jesus calmly departing, while his townspeople, filled with anger, chase after him. The intricate details of the engraving, including the cityscape and the various expressions on the faces of the people, make this work an example of the high quality and artistry of 16th-century printmaking.
