Verheerlijking van Christus en Christus geneest een maanzieke 1791

This etching by Dutch artist Simon Fokke depicts two scenes from the Gospel of Matthew: the Transfiguration of Christ (top) and the healing of a man possessed by a demon (bottom). The top scene shows Jesus Christ standing on a cloud with his disciples Peter, James, and John as Moses and Elijah appear to him. The bottom scene depicts the moment when Jesus heals the man possessed by demons, which is described in Matthew 17:14-21. Created in 1791, this work highlights Fokke's skill in capturing the drama and emotion of biblical narratives. This engraving, currently located in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to the popularity of religious art during the 18th century.
