Zorobabel Devant Darius 

"Zorobabel Devant Darius" is a painting by Nikolaus Knüpfer, a prominent Dutch Baroque artist who flourished in the 17th century. The painting depicts a scene from the biblical story of Zorobabel, a Jewish leader who returned to Jerusalem after the Babylonian exile. The artwork showcases Knüpfer's mastery in depicting historical narratives, and his skill in portraying the drama and tension of this particular moment. The painting is currently housed in the Musée d'art et d'histoire de Narbonne in France. The scene portrays Zorobabel before King Darius, while a woman, likely a representation of Jerusalem, stands before Zorobabel, signifying the city's restoration and the return of the Jews. The painting is rich in symbolic imagery, a common characteristic of Baroque art.
