David en Natan 1579 - 1643

"David en Natan" is an etching created by Johann Sadeler I between 1579 and 1643. The print depicts a scene from the Old Testament, where the prophet Nathan confronts King David about his sin of adultery and murder. The composition is detailed and includes multiple figures, including Nathan, David, and various onlookers. Sadeler's masterful use of line and shading bring the scene to life with a sense of drama and realism. The etching, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, provides a fascinating glimpse into a pivotal moment in biblical history.
