Jesaja houdt aanklacht tegen Jeruzalem 1538 - 1543

"Jesaja houdt aanklacht tegen Jeruzalem" is a woodcut by Hans Holbein the Younger, dating from 1538-1543. The artwork depicts the prophet Isaiah standing in the landscape, arms outstretched, and looking up towards the heavens. In the distance, a city is depicted, representing Jerusalem. The artwork is housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, and the work is an example of Holbein's mastery of detail and ability to depict religious scenes in a realistic and engaging way. This particular piece is a woodcut, a process where an artist carves a design into a wooden block and then inks the block to create a print. This was a popular technique used in the 16th century for mass production of images.
