Schepping van de zon, de maan en de sterren 1588 - 1600

Johann Sadeler I’s “Schepping van de zon, de maan en de sterren” (Creation of the Sun, the Moon and the Stars), a 16th-century engraving, depicts the biblical scene of God separating the light from darkness. The work features a central figure of God, clothed in flowing robes, reaching outwards toward the sun and moon, with outstretched arms. In the foreground, a landscape with a river and trees, adds depth to the scene. This print, measuring 196 mm in height and 250 mm in width, showcases Sadeler's skill in capturing the drama and wonder of creation, offering a visual interpretation of the biblical narrative.
