"Minerva en de Tijd onthullen de Waarheid" (Minerva and Time Reveal the Truth), an etching created in 1715 by Louis Desplaces (1682-1739), depicts a dramatic scene of figures against a stormy sky. The central figures are Minerva and Time, holding aloft a radiant orb revealing the truth, while below them, figures representing the vices are overwhelmed. This work, likely commissioned for a specific patron, exemplifies Desplaces' mastery of composition and use of light and shadow.
