This 1597 engraving by Hendrick Goltzius, titled "Mijn en dijn verjagen Eendracht, Liefde, Vrede en Vreze Gods," (Mine and Thine drive out Unity, Love, Peace, and Fear of God), exemplifies the artist's mastery of the Mannerist style. The dramatic composition, exaggerated figures, and intricate detail convey a strong sense of movement and tension. The central figures represent "Mine" and "Thine", who are depicted driving away the virtues of Unity, Love, Peace, and Fear of God, emphasizing the destructive nature of greed and self-interest. The print, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a powerful commentary on the societal ills of Goltzius' time.
