This engraving by Philips Galle, dating from 1559-1579, depicts a scene from the biblical story of Naboth. Naboth, a man accused of blasphemy and treason, stands before a judge, while a crowd surrounds him. The artwork, now located in the Rijksmuseum, illustrates the historical event and is a testament to Galle’s mastery of printmaking. The detailed, intricate composition highlights the drama of the moment, and the emotive expressions of the figures draw viewers into the scene. This print, measuring 201 mm by 247 mm, is a notable example of Northern Renaissance engraving, demonstrating the skill and artistry of the period.
