Oded bij het leger der Israëlieten 1712

"Oded bij het leger der Israëlieten" is a 1712 etching by Bernard Picart. The artwork depicts a scene from the Old Testament, likely the story of Oded, a prophet who admonishes King Asa for taking captive his own people. The scene is composed of a large group of figures, mostly Israelites being led away by Assyrian soldiers. The etching features a strong sense of drama and realism, emphasizing the emotional tension of the event. It is a powerful example of Picart's mastery of the etching technique, which he used to create detailed and expressive works that often depicted biblical scenes. This etching is currently part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
