Ondervraging van Johannes de Doper 1580 - 1600

"Ondervraging van Johannes de Doper" is a 16th-century engraving by Jacob de Weert depicting the interrogation of John the Baptist by Jewish priests. The scene is set outdoors, with John the Baptist standing to the left, holding a staff and looking toward a group of three priests. The priests are questioning John, who is shown holding a scroll. The intricate details of the figures' clothing and the landscape create a sense of realism. The engraving reflects the artist's skill in capturing the drama of the biblical story in a highly detailed and expressive manner. The print was likely intended to be part of a larger series illustrating biblical narratives.
