Wapen van de familie Out 1580

This 1580 engraving by Dutch artist Hendrick Goltzius depicts the coat of arms of the Out family. The central shield features three swans and a crescent moon. The shield is topped by a crest of a swan standing atop a helmet. The entire design is framed by an elaborate oval-shaped border of swirling leaves and vines, highlighting the family's status and prestige. This detailed, intricately executed engraving reflects Goltzius' mastery of the printmaking medium and his ability to capture the elegance of heraldic imagery. The piece is a testament to the ongoing tradition of heraldic representation during the Renaissance and serves as a visual record of the Out family's lineage.
