Mozes slaat water uit de rotsen 1695 - 1742

This etching by François Roëttiers, created between 1695 and 1742, depicts the biblical story of Moses striking a rock to provide water for the Israelites. The scene is a dynamic one, with Moses standing center stage, his arm raised as he strikes the rock. The Israelites are depicted below, eagerly gathering the water that flows from the rock. This detailed and expressive engraving highlights the skill of the artist and provides a powerful visual representation of a pivotal moment in biblical history. The title "Le frappement de Roche par Moyse" (The Striking of the Rock by Moses) further emphasizes the scene's significance.
