"I Jovis omnia plena" (1614) is an engraving by Roemer Visscher, a Dutch artist known for his illustrations and emblem books. This artwork is part of a series titled "Van de Sinnepoppen" and represents a proverb that translates to "There is nothing vain or empty in things." The image depicts a hand holding a sphere, partially submerged in a tub of water, illustrating the concept that even seemingly empty things hold a purpose or meaning. The engraving's detailed lines and subtle shading create a sense of depth and realism, characteristic of Visscher's style. The artwork is currently part of the Rijksmuseum collection in Amsterdam.
