Opwekking van de zoon van de weduwe van Naïn 1681 - 1728

This etching by François van Bleyswijck, titled "Opwekking van de zoon van de weduwe van Naïn," depicts the biblical story of Jesus raising the son of a widow from the dead. The scene, rendered in meticulous detail, portrays the emotional intensity of the event as Jesus reaches out to the dead boy, surrounded by a crowd of onlookers. The composition emphasizes the contrast between the grief of the mourners and the hope brought by Jesus's miraculous act. The work is a fine example of 18th-century Dutch religious art and is now housed in the Rijksmuseum.
