A 1993 framed etching by Dutch theologian, judaist and graphic artist Marcus van Loopik (b. 1950), titled “ Grote Verzoendag ”. “The etching shows, among other things, the high priest, who pronounces the blessing over the assembled people with outstretched arms and spread fingers. The prayer shawl spread out recalls the celebration of the Day of Atonement in the synagogue, when the men wear their 'tallit' (prayer shawl). Whoever wears a prayer shawl feels, as it were, God's hand of mercy on his shoulders. Like a cloak, God's mercy is spread over the community. Furthermore, the bull and the two goats are depicted. The darkest represents the so-called 'scapegoat'”. This etching, together with 27 other etchings, was used as an illustration in the Reader 's Bible of the Catholic Bible Foundation ('s - Hertogenbosch 1998). -Signed, dated, numbered and titled lower left in pencil. No. 25 of an edition of 25 copies. -Framed in an aluminum frame, without glass plate. -Dimensions: Frame, 55.5 x 45.5 x 2 cm. Image / etching, 35 x 32.5 cm. -Provenance: From the estate of Sheila Gogol (1942-2022). -Condition: In very good condition. Framed without glass plate. See also the photos.

The Book of Leviticus (chapter 16) describes how the High Priest of Israel made sacrifices in the tabernacle (temple) on the Day of Atonement ( Yom Kip(p)ur ). He did this to atone for the debts of the people, himself and his family. He sacrificed a bull for himself and his house. For Israel he took a ram for a burnt offering and two he-goats for a sin offering. He let lottery decide which of the two goats he sacrificed and which, symbolically laden with Israel's debts, he sent into the wilderness. Yum Kip(p)ur or Day of Atonement is considered the most important and holiest day in Judaism.
