XXIX Sij weet 'tsecreet 1614

This is an engraving entitled "XXIX Zp weet 'tlecreet" by Roemer Visscher, a Dutch artist who lived from 1547-1620. Created in 1614, the work is part of a series of engravings entitled "Sinnepoppen" which were intended to be satirical and were popular with the public. The imagery in this specific engraving is an elaborate lock with the word "ISRAEL" engraved on the side. The lock is hanging in the air, representing a secret that can only be opened by a chosen few. This engraving, housed at the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into Visscher's artistry and his talent for creating thought-provoking imagery.
