"Zevende Plaag" (Seventh Plague) is a 16th-century woodcut depicting the biblical story of the seventh plague of Egypt, where hail falls upon the land. The print, created by an anonymous artist between 1530 and 1533, illustrates the moment when God sends hail upon the Egyptians. The image shows a figure, likely Moses, raising his hand towards the sky while hailstones fall upon the land, striking down the Egyptians. This woodcut, part of the Rijksmuseum collection, provides a vivid depiction of the biblical story, highlighting the power and wrath of God.
