Jona wordt opgeslokt door de vis c. 1550 - 1650

"Jona wordt opgeslokt door de vis" (Jonah being swallowed by the fish) is an anonymous etching from the 17th century, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. The detailed print depicts a bustling coastal city with rolling hills in the background, all bathed in the radiant light of the sun. The scene unfolds near the water's edge, where a figure representing Jonah is being engulfed by a massive fish, reflecting the biblical story of Jonah's disobedience and subsequent punishment. The etching's meticulous rendering of both architectural details and natural elements highlights the artist's skillful use of the medium.
