XXV Die mij coopt, en kent mij niet 1614

"XXV Die mij coopt, en kent mij niet" is an engraving by Roemer Visscher from 1614. This image, part of a larger series, features a crown and two crossed scepters set against a simple landscape. The image is one of Visscher's "Sinnepoppen," a collection of allegorical emblems accompanied by Dutch poetry. The image's visual simplicity and straightforward symbolism would have been easily understood by Visscher's contemporary audience. The artwork is a prime example of Netherlandish engraving, reflecting the artistic trends of the time.
