Ezechias ziekbed 1780

"Ezechias ziekbed en wonder werk" is an etching by Dutch artist Theodoor Koning, depicting a scene from the Bible in which King Hezekiah is laid up in bed with a deadly illness. The artist uses strong lines and dramatic lighting to convey the seriousness of the situation. The artwork is part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. The work is a fine example of 18th-century Dutch printmaking, demonstrating Koning's skill in creating detailed and emotionally charged scenes. The use of light and shadow, as well as the dramatic pose of the figures, further enhances the narrative power of the artwork. This artwork provides valuable insights into biblical stories and the art of printmaking in the late 18th century.
