Paulus drijft de boze geesten uit in Efese before 1646

This woodcut print by Christoffel van (II) Sichem depicts the biblical scene of Paul the Apostle driving evil spirits out of Ephesus. The scene is set in a bustling town square with figures crowding around a central pillar. The artwork uses strong lines and hatching to create a dynamic composition, emphasizing the chaos and movement of the scene. In the background, a fire is burning, representing the expulsion of the demons. This print, created before 1646, reflects the interest in biblical stories during this period. It is a testament to the power of art to bring history and faith to life.
