Laat uw koninkrijk komen 1569 - 1573

This 16th-century engraving by Wierix, titled "Laat uw koninkrijk komen" ("Let your kingdom come"), depicts a dramatic scene of the Devil, seated upon a globe, holding a key and chains. The globe is being pulled down by chains held by figures on the ground. Above, God watches from the clouds, with an angel in his hand. The image is a powerful visual representation of the struggle between good and evil, and the potential for humanity to be saved from the Devil's grasp through faith and prayer. "Laat uw koninkrijk komen" is a classic example of religious art from the Northern Renaissance.
