Portret van de theoloog Adam Sasbout 1598

This 1598 engraving by Johannes Wierix depicts Adam Sasbout, a theologian, in an oval frame. The inscription around the frame provides details about Sasbout's life, including his age at death and the date of his passing. The inscription at the bottom, "Omnia Vanitas," is a Latin phrase meaning "all is vanity," a reminder of the fleeting nature of life. This print exemplifies the tradition of portraiture in Northern Renaissance art, and it is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
