Mozes en de brandende braamstruik 1645 - 1646

"Mozes en de brandende braamstruik" (Moses and the burning bush) is a 17th-century engraving by Dutch artist Christoffel van (II) Sichem. This artwork depicts the biblical scene of Moses encountering God in the form of a burning bush, as described in the Book of Exodus. The engraving, housed at the Rijksmuseum, showcases a detailed depiction of the event, featuring a kneeling Moses, a fiery bush with God emerging from it, and a flock of sheep in the foreground. The scene is rendered in a stark, yet expressive style, typical of Dutch engravings from the period. This artwork is a testament to the enduring power of biblical narratives in art.
