The image seen by Nebuchadnezzar 1655

Rembrandt's etching "The Image Seen by Nebuchadnezzar" (1655) depicts a scene from the biblical Book of Daniel. The artwork shows the Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar standing on a pedestal, seemingly in a state of despair, as he is surrounded by a mysterious, dreamlike landscape. Rembrandt's signature is evident in the lower left corner. The etching, now in the Rijksmuseum, showcases the artist's masterful use of light and shadow, creating a dramatic and thought-provoking image that has resonated with viewers for centuries.
