God belooft Abraham een zoon 1555

This engraving, created by Cornelis Bos in 1555, depicts the biblical story of God promising Abraham a son. The scene shows God appearing from a cloud above Abraham, who kneels in prayer while surrounded by his family and flocks. This work highlights the popularity of biblical narratives in 16th century art and uses a detailed, realistic style to capture the scene's emotional weight. This small engraving, housed in the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into the artist's skill in depicting religious themes.
