Baptism of the Eunuch
.jpg?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds)
This baptismal story has often been depicted, including by Rembrandt in 1626. The eunuch in this painting by the Utrecht painter Abraham Bloemaert resembles a Roman army leader. African warriors on horseback watch the baptism.
In a painting from the Rijksmuseum by Jacob de Wit from 1745 with the same subject, the military appearance has completely disappeared. This cloth hung in the reception room of the merchant Beuning, a prominent member of the re-hutters, missionaries who were the first in Suriname to preach to enslaved plantations. Two Africans are depicted with a silver collar. Even the eunuch with such a band is depicted on an 18th-century Amsterdam gable stone. This change in perception has to do with the slave trade and slavery, in which so-called slave bands were used. When an African was baptized in the Republic, the eunuch's story was often the baptismal text. For example, with the Christianization of Accra Doura, which was bought in Africa. After his baptism in Weesp in 1754 his name was Abraham Johannes.
