Profetie van Agabus 1702 - 1767

"Profetie van Agabus" is an etching by Jacob Folkema, a Dutch artist who worked during the 18th century. It depicts the biblical story of Agabus, a prophet who predicts Paul’s future imprisonment. Folkema uses a realistic style, with careful attention to detail in the figures’ clothing and the architecture of the setting. This etching was likely intended for a broader audience, as it uses a clear visual narrative to illustrate a well-known biblical scene, making it a popular subject in art. The work is currently in the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
