Wonderbare visvangst 1665 - 1733

"Wonderbare visvangst" (Wonderful Catch) is an etching by Dutch artist Simon Thomassin, created between 1665 and 1733. The print depicts a scene from the biblical story of the miraculous catch of fish, where Jesus instructs his disciples to cast their nets, resulting in an overflowing catch. Thomassin's detailed and expressive lines capture the awe and wonder of the event, highlighting the abundance of fish and the disciples' astonishment. The artwork, housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a prime example of Dutch etching and a testament to the enduring power of biblical narratives in art.
