From the collection of Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam. Free to download, adapt and use — no permission needed.
Aaron and Miriam stand before Moses and his Nubian wife and dispute his authority by making remarks about his marriage to her. Right Moses, Aaron and Miriam speak with God, who appears in the form of the Tetragram in the doorway of the tabernacle. In the landscape Aaron kneels before Moses begging him not to count his sin against him. Miriam sits stricken with leprosy in the desert. On the mountain Moses prays for her healing. Print is part of a series on the eight Beatitudes of Christ and illustrates the Beatitude: Blessed are the meek. On the steps a stone with this text from Matt. 5:5 in Latin. At the bottom in the margin a verse in Latin about the Beatitude and the scene.
