"Gevecht tussen twee broers gescheiden door een priester" (Fight Between Two Brothers Separated by a Priest) is a 1628 etching by the French artist Isaac Briot. The artwork depicts a scene from the Old Testament with two brothers about to fight, but are separated by a robed priest. In the background, a fortified city with a gate stands on a hilltop. Briot's etching is characteristic of the Dutch and Flemish baroque style, emphasizing dramatic poses and intricate detail. This scene was commonly used in art and literature to illustrate religious themes, with the priest representing the power of faith to resolve conflict.
