Koning Hizkía verwoest heiligdommen en Jesaja bezoekt de zieke koning Hizkía 1791

"Koning Hizkía verwoest heiligdommen en Jesaja bezoekt de zieke koning Hizkía" is a 1791 engraving by Dutch artist Jacob Folkema. The print depicts two scenes from the Book of Kings in the Old Testament. The upper scene shows King Hezekiah destroying the idols in the temple of Jerusalem, while the lower scene shows the prophet Isaiah visiting the sick King Hezekiah. Folkema's meticulous detail and dramatic composition are characteristic of his work, demonstrating the influence of the Dutch Golden Age on his art. This etching is an example of a historical genre scene and would have been familiar to a 18th century audience with its religious context. It is currently in the collection of the Rijksmuseum.
