Moedige Onnozelheid door Themis gekroond 1612 - 1655

"Moedige Onnozelheid door Themis gekroond" is an etching by an anonymous artist, likely created between 1612 and 1655. The print depicts a scene from Joost van den Vondel's play "Palamedes of Vermoorde Onnozelheit" (Palamedes, or Murdered Innocence) which was published in 1664. The scene shows the goddess Themis crowning the innocent Palamedes, surrounded by symbolic animals and a dramatic, architectural backdrop. It serves as a visual representation of the play’s central theme of the triumph of justice over corruption. The etching, measuring 90mm x 74mm, exemplifies the art of printmaking during this period.
