Glasraam 5 in de Sint-Janskerk te Gouda: Bezoek van de koningin van Seba aan Salomo 1738 - 1754

This etching by Pieter Tanjé, a Dutch artist working in the 18th century, depicts a scene from the biblical story of the Queen of Sheba visiting King Solomon. The artwork, a design for a stained glass window, was created between 1738 and 1754 and is currently part of the Rijksmuseum collection. The composition includes a series of panels within a larger arch, capturing the grandeur and majesty of the event with intricate details and expressive figures. This architectural design for stained glass, which was to be installed in the Sint-Janskerk church in Gouda, highlights the artistry of Tanjé's work and his understanding of both biblical narratives and the visual language of stained glass.
