Philips Galle's "The Lord assigning duties to the three estates" (1565-1567) is a detailed engraving that depicts the Lord in the heavens with an angelic chorus, bestowing duties on representatives of the three estates: the clergy, nobility and peasantry. This depiction of the medieval social hierarchy, now housed in the Statens Museum for Kunst, is a testament to the Flemish Renaissance's fascination with religious symbolism and the meticulous detail of printmaking.
