God vertelt Abraham zijn bestemming 1675

"God Tells Abraham his Destiny" is an etching by Cesare Fantetti, created in 1675. The artwork depicts the biblical story of God appearing to Abraham and instructing him to leave his home and travel to a new land. The scene is set in a rural landscape, with a simple house in the background. God, depicted as an old man with a long beard, is floating on a cloud above Abraham, who kneels in prayer below. The artist's masterful use of line creates a sense of depth and movement, while the dramatic composition emphasizes the importance of the divine encounter. The etching is a powerful reminder of the biblical narratives, highlighting the power of faith and obedience.
