De achtste plaag in Egypte 1755 - 1779

"De achtste plaag in Egypte" (The Eighth Plague of Egypt) is an engraving created by the Kaiserlich Franziskische Akademie between 1755 and 1779. The artwork depicts the biblical plague of flies, showing people fleeing in terror as swarms of insects descend upon them. The detailed depiction of the cityscape and the dramatic portrayal of the plague make this print a striking example of 18th-century engraving. The artwork is currently held at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
