Bijbelillustratie bij Matheus 13 1826 - 1886

This 19th-century print by Dirk Jurriaan Sluyter depicts a scene from the Gospel of Matthew, specifically the parable of the wheat and the tares. The artwork, housed in the Rijksmuseum, captures the moment where Jesus instructs his disciples to let both wheat and tares grow together until the harvest. The detailed engraving, set within an elaborate floral border, showcases Sluyter's mastery of depicting biblical narratives with clarity and emotional depth. This print exemplifies a common theme in religious art: the allegorical representation of spiritual growth and the complexities of faith.
