De Israëlieten nemen de aanhangers van Baäl gevangen c. 1567 - 1570

"De Israëlieten nemen de aanhangers van Baäl gevangen" (The Israelites Capture the Followers of Baal) is an etching by Philips Galle, dating from 1567-1570. The print depicts the Israelites capturing and slaying the followers of the pagan god Baal. The scene is chaotic, with figures struggling and falling, and a group of Israelites standing in the background witnessing the bloodshed. The scene is framed by a building with a column, adding a sense of scale and grandeur. This artwork is a powerful reminder of the conflicts between different religious beliefs, and it reflects the artistic style and subject matter that was popular in the 16th century.
