God schept de vogels en de vissen 1565 - 1630

Antonio Tempesta's "God schept de vogels en de vissen" (God Creates the Birds and the Fish) is an etching that portrays the biblical story of creation. Dated between 1565 and 1630, the image shows God, with his hand raised, creating the birds and the fish. The composition is dominated by the multitude of creatures in the sky and sea. The detail-rich work uses shadow and light to create a sense of depth and realism, reflecting Tempesta's mastery of the medium. This etching is a beautiful example of the artistic interpretations of religious themes, and it is a testament to the power and wonder of the creation story.
