Barnabas legt zijn geld aan de voeten van de apostelen 1697

This 1697 etching by an anonymous artist, titled "Barnabas legt zijn geld aan de voeten van de apostelen," depicts the biblical story of Barnabas offering his land's proceeds to the apostles. This scene, likely from the Book of Acts, showcases a group of figures with a central emphasis on Barnabas kneeling and offering money to the apostles. The intricate detail of the figures' attire and the architectural background contribute to the sense of historical accuracy and solemnity. This artwork, housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the power of religious art to convey biblical narratives and evoke spiritual reflection.
