Israëlieten rapen het manna en Mozes slaat water uit een rots 1791

This 1791 etching by Dutch artist Jacob Folkema depicts two scenes from the Book of Exodus: the gathering of manna and Moses striking water from a rock. Folkema, who was born in 1692 and died in 1767, is known for his detailed depictions of biblical scenes. The print, which is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, showcases the artist's skill in capturing both the drama and the grandeur of these stories. The print is also significant for its focus on the human element of these events, with each character in the scene rendered with great care and detail.
