Jona wordt door de vissers overboord gegooid 1582 - 1584

Johann Sadeler I's etching, "Jona wordt door de vissers overboord gegooid" (Jonah Being Thrown Overboard by the Fishermen), depicts the biblical story of Jonah being cast into the sea by sailors. The artwork, dated between 1582 and 1584, showcases the dramatic moment as Jonah is flung from the ship, surrounded by turbulent waves and a looming sea monster. The detailed etching, created by Sadeler, a renowned printmaker, emphasizes the turmoil of the scene, highlighting the fear and desperation of the figures. This artwork, currently held in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the mastery of Sadeler's technique and offers a powerful visual interpretation of a biblical narrative.
