Bijeenkomst van geestelijken 1725 - 1767

"Bijeenkomst van geestelijken" (Gathering of Clergy) is an etching created by Jacob Folkema between 1725 and 1767. The artwork depicts a group of clergymen gathered in a room, possibly a church or a library, with a cloud of light emanating from above. The scene likely symbolizes the divine inspiration and guidance bestowed upon the clergy. The etching's intricate details and skillful use of light and shadow are characteristic of Folkema's artistic style. This piece, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers insight into the religious and cultural milieu of the Netherlands during the 18th century.
