Gewonde man met een zwaard 1627 - 1678

"Gewonde man met een zwaard" (Injured Man with a Sword), a 17th-century etching by Jan Thomas, depicts a man with a bandaged shoulder holding a sword. The dramatic chiaroscuro and realistic portrayal of the figure's pain and suffering create a sense of emotional intensity, typical of Baroque art. The artwork is a striking example of Thomas's skill in depicting both physical and emotional states. This etching, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, serves as a testament to the artist's mastery of his craft.
