Man die Gods naam lasterde wordt gestenigd 1720 - 1728

Abraham de Blois's etching, “Man die Gods naam lasterde wordt gestenigd” (1720-1728), depicts a scene of biblical stoning from Leviticus 24:13-16. The print features a crowd of people throwing rocks at a man lying on the ground, emphasizing the brutal punishment for blasphemy. The artist captures the tension and violence of the moment, making it a powerful and disturbing commentary on religious intolerance. De Blois's etching exemplifies the Dutch Baroque style of the 18th century with its dramatic use of light and shadow and its attention to detail. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, providing a glimpse into the Dutch artistic and religious practices of the era.
