These over theologie van Antoine Talon (linkermiddendeel) 1648

This engraving, "These over theologie van Antoine Talon" (1648) by Claude Mellan (1598-1688), is a fine example of Baroque art in the Netherlands. It showcases Mellan’s mastery of the single-line engraving technique, creating a striking contrast of light and shadow. The central figure, likely a biblical character, sits dramatically on a pedestal, his anatomy rendered with meticulous detail. The background features figures and architectural elements, creating a sense of depth and grandeur. The artwork is currently on display at the Rijksmuseum.
