Wie begeerte en leugen doodt wordt gelauwerd door waarheid 1566 - 1578

This etching, "Wie begeerte en leugen doodt wordt gelauwerd door waarheid" (How Desire and Lies are Killed by Truth), was created by Dirck Volckertsz Coornhert between 1566 and 1578. The artwork depicts a scene of a man standing over two figures, one lying and one standing in the clouds. The work, which can be found at the Rijksmuseum, is an excellent example of Coornhert's skill at utilizing line and shadow to create powerful imagery.
