Nebukadnezar eet gras onder de koeien c. 1560

"Nebukadnezar eet gras onder de koeien" (c. 1560), an anonymous roundel, depicts the biblical story of Nebuchadnezzar, the Babylonian king, who was cursed by God to eat grass like an animal for seven years after losing his mind. The scene shows Nebuchadnezzar kneeling on the ground, surrounded by cattle, and reaching for a stalk of grass. This piece exemplifies 16th-century Northern European stained glass, employing silver stain and grisaille to create its detailed and vivid imagery. This roundel, likely part of a larger series, illustrates the power of faith and the consequences of pride.
