Satan bedekt Job met zweren 1645 - 1646

This woodcut by Christoffel van (II) Sichem, created between 1645 and 1646, depicts the biblical story of Job. The artwork shows Satan inflicting boils upon Job while onlookers watch in horror. The detail of the collapsing structure in the background adds a sense of chaos and destruction to the scene. This small-scale print (111mm x 85mm) is a powerful example of the Dutch Golden Age's fascination with religious narratives and the expressive potential of woodcut. This artwork is now part of the collection at the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
