Opdracht met wapenschild van Johannes Scipio Ormea 1735 - 1745

This etching from 1735-1745 by Jan Caspar Philips, a Dutch artist who lived from 1700 to 1775, depicts a coat of arms for Johannes Scipio Ormea, with two figures flanking the heraldic shield. The figures, likely representing Justice and Strength, are depicted in classical poses, holding a sword and a spear, respectively. The coat of arms is topped with a helmet and crest, and a banner below reads "Aan den wel gestrengen heere den heere Johan Scipio Ormea." The work highlights the artistic trend in the 18th century towards decorative and symbolic art, particularly in its use of classical motifs and allegorical figures. This artwork is currently located in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
