Overlijden van Henricus Vos, Luthers predikant te Amsterdam 1708

This silver medal, titled "Overlijden van Henricus Vos, Luthers predikant te Amsterdam," commemorates the death of Henricus Vos, a Lutheran preacher in Amsterdam in 1708. Created by an unknown artist, the medal depicts Vos with a woman representing "Truth" in a scene of mourning. The inscription on the back reads: "The death of God's servant, which is always blessed, is to us the hope of consolation, her life her comfort, her well-deserved age, her well-deserved death. In Amsterdam's School." This small, yet detailed, piece is a significant historical artifact, preserving the memory of Vos and showcasing the artistic conventions of the time.
