Engel wekt Jona op om te Ninive te prediken 1717 - 1763

"Engel wekt Jona op om te Ninive te prediken" (1717-1763) is an etching by Italian artist Pietro Monaco, depicting the biblical story of the prophet Jonah being awakened by an angel to preach repentance to the city of Nineveh. The detailed, expressive lines and dramatic lighting create a sense of urgency and divine intervention. The etching, part of a series of works by Monaco, was likely created for a devotional audience seeking inspiration from the biblical narrative. Monaco's meticulous engraving style is evident in the depiction of the angel's wings, Jonah's distraught expression, and the rocky landscape. The work is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
