103 Willem Goeree & Jan Luyken – The Plague of Boils in Egypt – Engraving
This dramatic engraving illustrates the sixth plague of Egypt from the Book of Exodus: the plague of boils. Moses and Aaron are shown casting ashes into the air, which then rains down upon the Egyptian people and animals, afflicting them with painful sores. The crowded composition is filled with scenes of physical torment, civic disruption, and divine retribution, all set against a backdrop of monumental architecture and classical ruins. Engraved by Jan Luyken after a design by Willem Goeree, the image transforms the biblical narrative into an epic visual spectacle rich in Baroque intensity.
Willem Goeree was a Dutch author, engraver, and art theorist known for his theological and historical publications that blended classical and biblical iconography. Jan Luyken, a prolific Dutch engraver, was renowned for his dramatic and expressive religious illustrations, particularly those produced for theological works. Their collaboration typifies the fusion of scriptural interpretation with elaborate printmaking in the Dutch Golden Age.
