Verzamelen van het manna 1585

"Verzamelen van het manna" is an etching by Johann Sadeler I, a prominent printmaker from the late sixteenth century. Created in 1585, the artwork depicts the biblical story of the Israelites gathering manna in the desert. The scene showcases a multitude of figures engaging in this act, with tents and a mountainous landscape in the background. Sadeler's detailed style brings a sense of realism to the biblical narrative, capturing the collective effort and awe of the event. This etching, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, exemplifies Sadeler's mastery of the medium and his ability to vividly portray religious themes.
