Title
Three men in the furnace
Description

This woodcut print is a modern impression of the woodblock displayed in this room. It is from a book (Newe Biblische Figuren) of 201 illustrations depicting Old and New Testament stories. The artist, probably the German printmaker Jost Amman, depicted an episode from the Book of Daniel. Three Jewish men, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, are thrown into a furnace by Nebuchadnezzar II, King of Babylon, for refusing to bow to the king's image in the background. However, the men are saved from harm by the angel behind them.

Amman was one of the most prolific printmakers of its time. He worked with the publisher Sigmund Feyerabend. They collaborated on at least fifty books.
