Genezing van een verlamde before 1700

Richard van Orley's etching, "Genezing van een verlamde," depicts the biblical scene of the healing of the paralytic man, as found in the Gospel of Luke. Dated before 1700, the artwork is a powerful representation of faith and divine intervention, illustrating the moment when Jesus heals the man and instructs him to take up his bed and walk. The composition features a large crowd gathered around a central figure, with a sense of drama and wonder as they witness the miracle. This etching, measuring 210 mm in height and 260 mm in width, is a notable example of Orley's skill in capturing the essence of a biblical narrative through intricate detail and a dynamic composition.
