Henoch bidt met zijn gezin 1560 - 1600

This engraving by Johann Sadeler I, titled "Henoch bidt met zijn gezin" (Enoch prays with his family), depicts a scene from the biblical story of Enoch. The composition features a group of figures gathered around a table, with Enoch and his family kneeling in prayer. The engraving is a fine example of Sadeler's skill in rendering detail and atmosphere, with the figures and the surrounding landscape rendered with great precision. The scene is set in a rural setting, with a simple house and a tree in the background, creating a sense of peace and tranquility. The artist's use of hatching and cross-hatching creates a sense of depth and volume, highlighting the figures and the landscape.
