Landschappen met scènes uit het Oude en Nieuwe Testament

A Roman centurion in Renaissance-style armor kneels before Jesus, who is accompanied by a group of disciples. The encounter takes place on a dirt path leading past a village of thatched cottages toward a distant valley and walled city. The scene captures the moment the soldier asks for the healing of his servant, emphasizing the dialogue between secular and spiritual authority.

Hendrick Goltzius was the leading figure of the Haarlem Mannerists, a circle deeply influenced by the intellectual and philosophical shifts of the Northern Renaissance. This work reflects the movement's interest in integrating sacred history into the 'world landscape,' a genre that explored the relationship between the divine and the natural order.
