Visioen van de zeven kandelaars 1693 - 1783

"Visioen van de zeven kandelaars" (Vision of the Seven Candlesticks) is an anonymous etching that depicts a scene from the Book of Revelation. In the image, a robed figure, likely representing God, stands on a cloud, holding a cup and pointing towards seven candlesticks with outstretched arms. A figure kneeling in the foreground appears to be in awe of the divine presence, symbolizing the power and mystery of the divine. This artwork, dating from 1693 - 1783, exemplifies the visual interpretations of religious texts during this era, exploring themes of faith, prophecy, and divine authority. The print is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
