This 17th-century Dutch emblem print, created by an anonymous artist, portrays a man renouncing his earthly possessions and converting to Christianity. The central figure kneels before a church, rejecting worldly goods symbolized by the bags at his feet, while an angel guides him towards salvation represented by the celestial figures above. The print is a powerful visual allegory for the spiritual journey of conversion and the choice between material wealth and eternal life. This artwork is a fine example of Dutch printmaking of the period, which often used emblems and allegories to convey complex ideas and religious messages.
