Naäman vraagt Elisa zijn geschenken te aanvaarden 1679 - 1728

This etching, "Naäman vraagt Elisa zijn geschenken te aanvaarden", depicts a scene from the Old Testament story of Naaman, a Syrian general, who is healed of leprosy by the prophet Elisha. Naaman, humbled by Elisha's miraculous healing, offers gifts to Elisha as a sign of gratitude. The scene is depicted in a realistic and detailed style, characteristic of the Dutch Golden Age. The artist, Abraham de Blois, is known for his engravings, particularly his illustrations for the Bible. This artwork is a fine example of the combination of religious themes and skilled craftsmanship that defined Dutch Baroque art.
