Geloof 1592 - 1667

"Geloof" is a 17th-century engraving by an anonymous artist, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. The artwork depicts a woman, likely a religious figure, holding a cross and seated within a decorative archway. The composition is typical of religious engravings of the period, using strong lines and contrasts to convey a sense of solemnity and devotion. Angels are depicted above the figure, adding to the celestial theme. The inscription beneath the figure, "Non me durarum terrent discrimina rerum, Firmap diversorum tolero fidelia casus", likely refers to a theme of faith and perseverance in the face of adversity.
