Jona zit onder de wonderboom 1566 - 1579

"Jona zit onder de wonderboom" (Jonah Sits Under the Wonder Tree), an etching created by Philips Galle between 1566-1579, depicts the biblical story of Jonah. The print shows Jonah sitting under a tree, lost in thought, overlooking a bustling city. Above him, God appears in a cloud, surrounded by angels, while a bright sun shines down on the scene. This etching is a fine example of Galle's skill in capturing detail and creating a sense of drama, highlighting the story's themes of divine judgement and repentance.
