Gezicht op de berg Tabor en de transfiguratie van Christus 1672

This etching by Flemish artist Gaspar Bouttats, created in 1672, depicts a panoramic view of Mount Tabor, a site in the Holy Land important to Christian tradition. The artwork’s detailed depiction of the landscape, featuring rocky outcroppings and winding pathways, showcases Bouttats' skill in rendering realistic details, particularly in the natural world. The title, "Gezicht op de berg Tabor en de transfiguratie van Christus," which translates to "View of Mount Tabor and the Transfiguration of Christ," suggests that the print aims to illustrate a specific biblical event, adding another dimension to the landscape depicted. Now housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, this etching exemplifies Bouttats' ability to combine artistic skill with religious themes.
