Zieken worden genezen door de zweetdoeken van apostel Paulus 1697

"Zieken worden genezen door de zweetdoeken van apostel Paulus" (1697), an anonymous etching, illustrates a scene from the Bible, specifically the Acts of the Apostles. The engraving depicts a group of people around a sick man, with one woman holding up a cloth. The text at the bottom explains that the man is being healed by touching the handkerchiefs of the apostle Paul. This image, held in the Rijksmuseum, is a classic example of religious art from the 17th century. It showcases the power of faith and the healing properties of religious relics.
