Opwekking van de zoon van de weduwe van Naïn 1629

Christoffel van (II) Sichem's 1629 engraving, "Opwekking van de zoon van de weduwe van Naïn," depicts the biblical story of Jesus raising the son of a widow from the dead. This small but detailed work, found in the Rijksmuseum, features a clear depiction of Jesus interacting with the mourners, including the grieving mother. The use of crosshatching and fine lines creates a sense of depth and detail, highlighting the emotion and drama of the scene. This engraving, a testament to Sichem's mastery of the medium, offers a glimpse into the artist's skill in portraying religious narratives.
