Alleen een ziek lichaam wordt verzorgd 1610 - 1676

"Aleen een ziek lichaam wordt verzorgd" (Only a sick body is cared for) is an engraving by Philips Galle, dating from between 1610 and 1676. The print depicts a scene from the Bible, possibly referencing the story of the "Sick Man of the Gospel," illustrating the care that should be provided to the ill. The etching style is characteristic of the Northern Renaissance period, with its detailed lines and strong contrasts. The print is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, and measures 225 mm in height and 156 mm in width. This artwork is a testament to the rich history of biblical imagery in art and provides a visual representation of caregiving during the early modern period.
