Huichelarij neemt de plaats in van vroomheid 1604

Dirck Volckertsz Coornhert's etching *Huichelarij neemt de plaats in van vroomheid* (1604), depicts the hypocrisy of religious figures. The central figure, a woman representing hypocrisy, wears a religious habit and holds a chalice aloft. However, she is accompanied by a monkey and a wolf, symbolizing her deceptive nature. The image, part of a larger series, reflects the artist's interest in humanist themes and critiques of religious authority, challenging traditional views of piety and virtue. The etching is currently located at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
