H. Martinus geneest een bezetene 1628 - 1670

"H. Martinus geneest een bezetene" is a 17th-century etching by Pieter de (II) Jode, depicting a scene from the life of Saint Martin of Tours. The artwork, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, captures a moment of miraculous healing. Saint Martin, accompanied by other figures, stands before a man possessed by a demon, who is being restrained by two men. The scene's dramatic composition and the interplay of light and shadow contribute to its visual impact, highlighting the power of faith and the divine intervention in the lives of believers. The detailed rendering of the figures and the architectural setting adds to the realism and solemnity of the work. This etching is a testament to Pieter de (II) Jode's mastery of the art of printmaking and a compelling portrayal of a significant religious event.
