Het sacrament van het laatste oliesel 18th century

"Het sacrament van het laatste oliesel" (The Sacrament of Extreme Unction), an 18th-century print by Giovanni Volpato, depicts a priest administering the last rites to a dying person. The scene is set in a bedroom, with the sick person lying in bed and surrounded by loved ones. The priest's hands are raised in a gesture of blessing. This print, now in the Rijksmuseum, is a striking example of the Baroque style, which was popular in the 17th and 18th centuries. The print's elaborate frame and dramatic use of light and shadow add to its overall impact.
