Bruid wordt uitgenodigd in de hemel 1574

"The Bride Invited into Heaven" is a 1574 engraving by the Flemish artist Hieronymus Wierix. The artwork features a scene from the Song of Solomon where the Bride, dressed in a flowing gown, is guided by three allegorical figures (Faith, Charity, and Hope) to a heavenly realm. In the upper left corner, God the Father is depicted sitting on a cloud, extending his arm towards the Bride. This scene portrays the spiritual journey of the soul seeking union with the divine. The image, which is small in size and intricate in detail, is a powerful representation of religious imagery, symbolizing the ultimate destination of the Christian soul.
