Schepping van de wereld 1685 - 1732

"Schepping van de wereld" (Creation of the World) is an etching by Dutch artist Peter Paul Bouché. Created between 1685 and 1732, the artwork depicts a powerful image of God creating the world. Bouché portrays God as a bearded figure, floating above the tumultuous sea and reaching out to the heavens. This powerful scene is a classic depiction of the Biblical story of creation and demonstrates Bouché's mastery of the etching technique. The artwork is a testament to the artist's skill and a window into the religious art of the 17th century.
