Doop van de kamerling after 1638

This etching, "Doop van de kamerling" (Baptism of the Eunuch), was created by Claude Vignon in the 17th century, likely after 1638. The artwork, which is now housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, depicts the biblical scene from the Book of Acts, where Philip baptizes the Ethiopian eunuch. Vignon's etching uses detailed lines to capture the moment of the baptism, with the figure of Philip pouring water over the eunuch's head as angels descend from above. The scene is set against a backdrop of a swirling sky with light streaming down, suggesting a sense of divine intervention.
