LOT DETAILS

Materials:

Point of the brush and brown wash and gouache within pen and brown ink framing lines, on light brown paper

Size Notes:

1. Amsterdam, Rijksmuseum, inv. RP-P-1908-3629.

Edition:

Variants of the same composition are also known through prints. A large, horizontal-format print depicting a version of the same composition with additional figures was published by Claes Jansz. Visscher as one of a great series of biblical illustrations; an impression of that print is in the Rijksmuseum.1 The print indicates that Diepenbeeck was the designer, but the composition was clearly inspired by prototypes - originally painted but chiefly known through engravings2 - in the work of Rubens, emphasising once more how closely interwoven are the works, in all media, of Rubens and the artists like Diepenbeeck who were active in his close orbit in Antwerp.
