This engraving by Boëtius Adamsz. Bolswert, dated between 1590-1639, depicts a miraculous event. A church in Amsterdam is engulfed in flames, but a host, a consecrated bread central to Catholic rituals, remains untouched. The scene portrays the event as a divine sign, with people gathered around the burning building, observing and reacting to the miracle. This artwork, part of the Rijksmuseum collection, is a powerful illustration of faith and religious belief in the context of historical events.
