Johannes de Doper stuurt zijn discipelen naar Christus before 1732

Gabriel Huquier's etching, "Johannes de Doper stuurt zijn discipelen naar Christus", depicts a scene from the New Testament, where John the Baptist sends his disciples to Jesus. The artwork, dating from before 1732, showcases Huquier's mastery of detail and precise linework. The composition features figures walking towards a radiant light source, symbolizing the divine presence of Christ, against a backdrop of trees and a stream. Currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, this intricate engraving offers a glimpse into the visual interpretation of biblical narratives during the 18th century.
