This 1623 broadside, from the Rijksmuseum, is a textual accompaniment to a print, likely depicting Henricus Slatius, who was in prison at the time. The anonymous text is written in Dutch, using a mix of verse and prose to address the subject of the print. It explores themes of faith, repentance, and the dangers of straying from God's path, all while using evocative imagery and language. The black and white printing of the text gives it a stark and formal appearance, reflecting the seriousness of the subject matter.
