Salomon aanbidt een afgodsbeeld 1500 - 1553

Adriaen Pietersz Crabeth's "Salomon aanbidt een afgodsbeeld" is a detailed black chalk drawing created between 1500 and 1553. The drawing depicts the biblical story of King Solomon worshipping an idol in a grand architectural setting. The intricate details of the classical columns and arches create a sense of depth and grandeur, drawing the viewer's eye to the central figure of Solomon kneeling before the idol. The composition emphasizes the stark contrast between the grandeur of the setting and the somber act of idolatry, creating a powerful and evocative image. This drawing is a testament to Crabeth's skill as a draftsman and his ability to capture the essence of a biblical narrative through a combination of precise detail and atmospheric rendering.
