De verdrijving van Sorgheloos 1541

"De verdrijving van Sorgheloos" (The Expulsion of Carelessness), a 1541 woodcut by Cornelis Anthonisz, depicts a dramatic scene of expulsion. The print shows several figures, with a woman wielding a weapon, expelling a man from a building. The scene is framed by a window overlooking a cityscape, and the figures are identified by inscribed scrolls, which add to the narrative. This print reflects the artistic style of the Dutch Renaissance, characterized by detailed depictions of human figures and a focus on storytelling. The work, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, is a valuable example of the artistic and social concerns of 16th-century Dutch society.
