Jeremia wordt in de kerker geworpen 1582

This engraving by Johann Sadeler I, titled “Jeremia wordt in de kerker geworpen” (Jeremiah is thrown into prison) depicts a scene from the Bible. Created in 1582, the artwork shows Jeremiah being dragged by his feet into a prison cell, surrounded by guards. The use of dramatic chiaroscuro, a technique utilizing strong contrasts of light and dark, creates a sense of urgency and tension within the scene. This print is a powerful example of Sadeler's skill in depicting biblical stories in a dynamic and expressive way.
