Vader Tijd onthult de Waarheid 1702 - 1767

"Vader Tijd onthult de Waarheid" (Father Time Reveals the Truth) is an etching by Jacob Folkema, created between 1702 and 1767. The print depicts Father Time, a bearded figure holding a scythe, standing beside a winged woman who is writing in a book. A woman with wings is floating above them, symbolizing Truth. This allegorical artwork, now in the Rijksmuseum, is a fine example of 18th-century Dutch art, emphasizing moral themes and symbolism. The use of etching, a technique that involves creating an image by incising lines into a metal plate, results in a detailed and expressive print.
