Christus geneest een verlamde en de roeping van Mattheus 1791

This engraving by Dutch artist Jacob Folkema depicts two biblical scenes from the Gospel of Matthew. The top scene portrays the healing of a paralytic by Jesus, while the lower scene shows the calling of Matthew, who was formerly a tax collector. Folkema's meticulous attention to detail and skillful use of light and shadow create a sense of drama and realism. This work is a fine example of 18th-century Dutch religious art.
