Bondgenootschap tussen David en Jonatan 1645 - 1646

"Bondgenootschap tussen David en Jonatan" (1645-1646) by Christoffel van (II) Sichem (1581-1658) depicts the biblical story of the covenant between David and Jonathan. The scene showcases the two figures in conversation, surrounded by a simple landscape, with Jonathan, the crowned figure, extending his hand to David, who is carrying a sword. The etching is a testament to the historical and religious importance of the story of David and Jonathan, a powerful display of love and loyalty. The work is part of the collection at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
