Jakob bij de bron van Haran 1549

"Jakob bij de bron van Haran" (Jacob at the Well of Haran) is a 1549 engraving by Dutch artist Dirck Volckertsz Coornhert (1519-1590). The engraving depicts the biblical story of Jacob meeting Rachel at the well in Haran. The scene is filled with figures and animals, including a group of women on a wall above, Jacob in the foreground, and sheep and goats. Coornhert's use of line and shading create a sense of depth and realism. The print's intricate detail and attention to composition are characteristic of Coornhert's style, which blended Northern Renaissance traditions with the influence of Italian Mannerism. This artwork is part of the Rijksmuseum collection and measures 196 mm in width and 243 mm in height.
