Schepping van de lucht en het water 1588 - 1600

"Schepping van de lucht en het water" is a 16th century engraving by Johann Sadeler I, depicting God separating the water from the sky during the creation of the world. This work, now located in the Rijksmuseum, uses dramatic chiaroscuro to highlight God's power, showcasing Sadeler's skill in translating Renaissance ideas into the print medium. It's a powerful testament to the divine intervention in shaping the universe, exemplifying the rich tradition of biblical art in the Netherlands.
