This etching by François van Bleyswijck, dating from 1681-1746, depicts two portraits of Johan and Christian Friss, Chancellors of Denmark, being placed on a pedestal by three putti. The artwork exemplifies the Baroque style, with its emphasis on dramatic lighting and the use of cherubic figures. The inscription at the bottom, “Er Triumphert der Geist,” translates to "The spirit triumphs" and highlights the triumph of the Danish Chancellors. The print, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to the artistic skill of van Bleyswijck and offers insight into the artistic sensibilities of the 17th and 18th centuries.
