Opgebaarde onverteerde lichaam van de H. Idesbald, 1625 1714

This 1714 etching by Bernard Picart, titled “Opgebaarde onverteerde lichaam van de H. Idesbald, 1625,” depicts the discovery of the incorrupt body of Saint Idesbald, a 13th-century Belgian priest, 457 years after his death. The scene, likely set in the church of Bogarde, shows the body laid out on a table while onlookers express astonishment and reverence. The etching, now at the Rijksmuseum, showcases Picart's skill in depicting both the solemnity of the event and the detailed expressions of the figures.
