About this work
King Josiah orders the destruction of the temple of Baal and the killing of the Baal priests. All objects made in honor of the idol are burned outside the city. The fire is visible in the background to the right. Below the scene is a Latin reference to the biblical text in 2 Kings 23:4. This print is part of an album.
