Opwekking door H. Johannes van Sahagún 1688 - 1692

This etching, titled "Opwekking door H. Johannes van Sahagún" (Resurrection by St. John of Sahagún), was created by Arnold van Westerhout between 1688 and 1692. The print depicts the resurrection of a woman by the Saint, a popular theme in Baroque art. The dramatic composition with figures arranged in a dynamic, diagonal line and the use of light and shadow evoke the energy and emotion of the event. The figures are rendered with great detail, capturing the awe and wonder of the miracle. Van Westerhout's etching is a testament to the power of faith and the beauty of the Baroque style.
