Leeuwen doden inwoners van Samaria 1645 - 1740

"Leeuwen doden inwoners van Samaria," a 17th-century etching by Christoffel van (II) Sichem, depicts a scene from the Bible, specifically the Book of Kings. The artwork features a group of lions attacking the inhabitants of Samaria, as God's punishment for their sins. The scene is rendered in detail, highlighting the ferocity of the lions and the helplessness of their victims. This etching serves as a reminder of the power of God and the consequences of disobedience. The work is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, Netherlands.
