Christus geneest twee blinden / Christus roept Zacheüs 1716 - 1791

This etching by Pieter Tanjé, a Dutch artist active in the 18th century, depicts two scenes from the New Testament: the healing of two blind men by Jesus (top) and the calling of Zacchaeus (bottom). These scenes, drawn from the Gospels of Matthew and Luke respectively, are popular subjects in religious art. Tanjé uses a detailed, realistic style to portray the figures, with a focus on their expressions and gestures. The work is a fine example of 18th-century Dutch religious art, and is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
