Heilig Oliesel (rechter deel) 1633 - 1700

"Heilig Oliesel (rechter deel)" is an etching by Jean Pesne, created between 1633 and 1700. The artwork, now in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a scene of mourning with several figures surrounding a deceased person lying on a bed. The somber atmosphere is heightened by the use of shadow and the sorrowful expressions on the faces of those surrounding the deceased. This poignant scene captures the emotional weight of loss, making it a compelling piece of art for viewers who connect with themes of grief and mortality.
