Vignet met Geloof 1700

"Vignet met Geloof" is a 1700 engraving by Dutch artist Dirk Janszoon van Santen, depicting a seated figure representing faith, likely a biblical character. The image is characterized by its detail and careful use of light and shadow, which illuminate the figure and her surroundings. The figure is surrounded by an oval frame of laurel leaves, a common symbol of victory and triumph. This work demonstrates van Santen's mastery of engraving and his commitment to conveying religious themes through his art.
