LVII Vtinam sic semper 1614

"LVII Vtinam sic semper," a 1614 etching by Dutch artist Roemer Visscher (1547-1620), is part of a series of illustrated proverbs called "Van de Sinnepoppen." This particular print depicts a wheelbarrow full of tools, a wooden wheel, and various implements resting on the ground, hinting at the proverb's message. The image's simple composition and detailed rendering are characteristic of Visscher's work, illustrating a moral or societal message in a direct and engaging way. This etching is part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum.
