Ark van het verbond en voorwerpen uit de tabernakel 1645 - 1740

"Ark van het verbond en voorwerpen uit de tabernakel" is an etching by Christoffel van (II) Sichem from the period between 1645 and 1740. This engraving depicts a scene from the Old Testament, showing the Ark of the Covenant, a sacred chest that housed the Ten Commandments, surrounded by important religious objects including the menorah, a table with showbread, and a priest standing in the Tabernacle. The artwork exhibits a detailed, intricate style, reflecting the Dutch Golden Age's interest in religious iconography and symbolism. Its use of hatching and cross-hatching to create shadow and light highlights the intricate details of the objects. The etching was likely part of a series illustrating biblical scenes and is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
