Bekering van de stokbewaarder en Magische boeken te Ephese verbrand 1791

"Bekering van de stokbewaarder en Magische boeken te Ephese verbrand" (Conversion of the Stick-Keeper and Magical Books Burned in Ephesus), an etching by Dutch artist Simon Fokke, depicts two scenes from the biblical Book of Acts. The top scene portrays the conversion of the Ephesus silversmith Demetrius, who led a riot against the apostle Paul. The bottom scene illustrates the destruction of magic books by those who converted to Christianity. The etching, dated 1791, is a fine example of Fokke's detailed style and is part of the Rijksmuseum's collection.
