Maerten van Heemskerck, Satan Challenges God to Remove His Protection from Job, 1562, pen and ink over traces of graphite, incised for transfer, National Gallery of Art, Washington, Joseph F. McCrindle Collection, 2010 One of a series of eight designs for prints depicting the biblical story of Job, this sheet shows Satan daring the Lord, at center with his hand on the globe, to rescind his protection over his most faithful servant. God accepts the challenge, allowing Satan to subject Job to a number of depredations and trials, but Job’s faith never wavers. He is shown at the lower right, his hands folded in prayer and acceptance; his wife stands beside him, urging him—without success—to curse God. Courtesy of National Gallery of Art
