Mozes vlucht naar het land Midjan 1645 - 1740

"Mozes vlucht naar het land Midjan" (Moses flees to the land of Midian) is a 17th-century engraving by Dutch artist Christoffel van (II) Sichem, depicting a scene from the Book of Exodus. The image portrays Moses fleeing Pharaoh's wrath after killing an Egyptian. Moses is shown running away, with Pharaoh's palace in the background. The engraving uses a dramatic perspective to emphasize Moses's escape, with a checkerboard floor adding a geometric element to the composition. This work is part of a series of illustrations depicting events from the Old Testament, highlighting the influence of biblical narratives on art during the Dutch Golden Age.
