Genezing van Naäman 1607 - 1682

Nicolaes de Bruyn's "Genezing van Naäman" is a 17th-century etching that depicts the biblical story of Naaman's healing from leprosy. The artwork showcases a serene landscape with a river, a fortified city in the distance, and a group of figures in the foreground. The scene is filled with details, like the trees, the river, and the buildings. The composition and use of light create a sense of depth and atmosphere. De Bruyn was a Dutch artist, and this etching reflects the artistic sensibilities of the Dutch Golden Age, with its emphasis on realistic detail and the beauty of the everyday. Today, "Genezing van Naäman" resides at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
