Gedenkteken voor Petrus Haack 1824 - 1826

"Gedenkteken voor Petrus Haack" (Memorial for Petrus Haack) is a print created by Dutch artist Jacobus Wijsman in 1824-1826. It is a commemorative artwork that depicts Petrus Haack, a Dutch clergyman, surrounded by allegorical figures. A grieving woman stands near the monument while a winged cherub holds a portrait of Haack. A young boy sits at the base, reading a book. The inscription on the monument commemorates Haack's life and achievements, highlighting his contributions as a theologian and historian. This print is an example of Dutch neoclassicism, a style popular in the early 19th century that emphasized order, balance, and clarity.
