Transfiguratie 1598 - 1618

"Transfiguratie" is a 17th-century etching by Flemish artist Jacques de Bie, created between 1598 and 1618. The artwork depicts the biblical scene of the Transfiguration of Jesus, where he appears before his disciples, Peter, James, and John, with a radiant, heavenly glow. The composition emphasizes the divine nature of Jesus as he is surrounded by clouds and light, while the disciples are shown in awe and wonder. De Bie’s masterful use of light and shadow, and his careful rendering of the human figures, contribute to the powerful and moving depiction of this pivotal moment in Christian history.
