Uria door David teruggeroepen uit de oorlog 1579 - 1585

Johann Sadeler I's etching, “Uria door David teruggeroepen uit de oorlog,” depicts a scene from the biblical story of David's return from war. The central figures are David, the king, and Urias, a soldier who is being sent back to battle despite his desire to return home to his wife. This artwork, created between 1579 and 1585, showcases Sadeler's mastery of detail and composition, illustrating the dramatic encounter between the two men. The print highlights the tension and conflict through the use of light and shadow and the careful placement of the figures. The work is currently on display at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
