This 1622 engraving by Claes Jansz. Visscher, titled "De wonderlijke transformatie van de H. Liborius tot rijksdaalders," depicts the transformation of the saint Liborius into Dutch guilders. The artwork is a satirical piece that reflects the corruption of the clergy during the 17th century. It features a central image of Saint Liborius standing tall in his robes, surrounded by scenes that illustrate the transformation process. Visscher was known for his satirical engravings, and this piece is a prime example of his work. The print is on display at the Rijksmuseum.
