Description
The healing of the demoniac is recounted in Luke, Matthew and Mark. Mark's version illustrated here is the shortest, without the incident of the pigs jumping into the lake. But it's also undoubtedly the oldest, in which Jesus' anger is preserved, as he violently shakes the possessed man, speaking to the demon within him.
History :
- Signed at the bottom of the engraving on the left "Picart delin.", on the right "Gouwen sculps."
