Manasse, Amon en Josia 1585 - 1643

This engraving titled "Manasse, Amon en Josia" by Jan (I) Snellinck, dating back to 1585-1643, depicts three figures from the Bible. The central figure is Amon, flanked by Manasse on the left and Josia on the right. Each figure is shown standing, clad in elaborate garments, with a crown or headdress symbolizing their royal status. The engraving likely served as a visual aid for studying the Old Testament, highlighting the kings of Judah. While the figures are presented with a sense of dignity, their expressions are rather neutral, inviting contemplation of their respective stories within the biblical narrative. This work is held at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
