De Mens bewondert zichzelf en is blind voor de Drie-eenheid 1546 - 1562

"De Mens bewondert zichzelf en is blind voor de Drie-eenheid" (Man Admires Himself and is Blind to the Trinity), an engraving by Frans Huys, depicts a man in prayer admiring his reflection in a mirror. The artwork is split into two scenes, one depicting a man admiring himself and the other depicting a man, seemingly asleep or dead, with a vision of the Trinity above. Huys' engraving was produced in the 16th century as part of a series of prints that sought to teach moral lessons through imagery. The artwork is located in the Rijksmuseum and serves as a reminder of the importance of humility and faith, contrasting the man's self-admiration with the ultimate truth of God's presence.
