Stammen van Juda en Simoen nemen Jeruzalem in 1645 - 1740

"Stammen van Juda en Simoen nemen Jeruzalem in" is a black and white engraving by Christoffel van (II) Sichem, dating back to between 1645 and 1740. This artwork depicts the biblical story of the tribes of Judah and Simeon conquering Jerusalem, as described in the book of Judges. The scene is set in a bustling city with soldiers on horseback entering through a gate. The detail-rich composition and use of perspective reflect the artistic style of the 17th century, and the engraving highlights the strength and determination of the conquering forces. This artwork is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection in the Netherlands.
