Johannes de Doper wijst Herodes en Herodias terecht 1580 - 1600

This engraving, titled "Johannes de Doper wijst Herodes en Herodias terecht," by Jacob de Weert, depicts the biblical scene of John the Baptist rebuking Herod and Herodias. The scene shows John the Baptist, standing on a set of steps, pointing his finger towards Herod, who sits on a throne with his wife Herodias. De Weert's meticulous attention to detail, particularly in the clothing and the architectural setting, lends a sense of realism to this historical event. The engraving, made between 1580 and 1600, is a testament to De Weert's skill in capturing the drama and emotion of this pivotal moment in the biblical narrative.
