Gelijkenis van de farizeeër en de tollenaar in de tempel 1582 - 1613

This 16th century print, "Gelijkenis van de farizeeër en de tollenaar in de tempel" by Pieter van der (I) Borcht, depicts a biblical parable. The scene is set in the temple of Jerusalem and shows a pharisee, with his head held high, praying and a tax collector kneeling, humbly beating his chest. The artist utilizes linear perspective and detailed architectural elements to convey a sense of depth and realism. This engraving, now in the Rijksmuseum, is a fine example of Pieter van der Borcht's use of intricate details and dramatic storytelling.
