Pieter Mortier (1661–1711) - Set of 4: Biblical...

This decorative set of 4 antique Dutch engravings features dramatic Old and New Testament scenes: "The Transfiguration and the Healing of the Possessed Boy", "Samuel Rebuking Israel and the Anointing of Saul", "Peter Finding the Tribute Money and Christ Blessing the Children", and "The Brazen Serpent and Balaam and the Ass". Each sheet presents paired scriptural narratives rendered with complex multi-figure compositions, dramatic Baroque chiaroscuro, classical architectural settings, and expressive anatomical detailing. Published in Amsterdam by Pieter Mortier for his monumental folio work Historie des Ouden en Nieuwen Testaments (famously known as the Mortier Bible), these exquisite copperplate engravings represent late Dutch Golden Age religious printmaking and theological narrative art at its peak.
