This 1676 engraving, titled "Interventie van Christus in de strijd tussen de coccejanen en voetianen in Zeeland", depicts a satirical scene of the theological dispute between the Cocceians and Voetians, two opposing theological factions in 17th-century Holland. The artwork depicts a chaotic scene of figures engaged in an argument while Christ, surrounded by angels, appears in the middle of the scene to mediate the conflict. The engraving is a complex commentary on the theological debates of the time and serves as a reminder of the religious tension and diversity of the Dutch Golden Age.
