Gad 1575

This etching, “Gad,” by Johann Sadeler I, was created in 1575 and depicts the biblical figure Gad as a warrior. The artwork, now in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Sadeler’s talent for detailed rendering. Gad is depicted with a spear and shield, standing over a fallen enemy, emphasizing his strength and valor. The meticulous detail of the armor, the landscape, and the expression on Gad’s face contribute to a powerful and compelling image.
