Bakstenen poort in een straat 1833 - 1862

"Bakstenen poort in een straat" is an etching by Dutch artist Gijsbertus Johannes Verspuy, created between 1833 and 1862. The artwork, housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a scene from the Bible, possibly the Transfiguration of Jesus. Jesus stands in the center of the etching, flanked by two disciples, while angels appear in the clouds above. The detailed landscape background includes a distant village, illustrating the artist's skillful use of light and shadow to create a sense of depth and atmosphere. This etching is a fine example of Verspuy's talent for capturing religious narratives through detailed, yet expressive, imagery.
