This 17th-century Dutch engraving, titled "Embleem met de mens die zich in alles bewust is van de alomtegenwoordigheid van God" (Emblem of Man Conscious of God's Omnipresence), is a complex and detailed work. It depicts a scene with numerous figures and symbols. The central image portrays a man receiving a crown from an angel while surrounded by other celestial beings. This suggests a theme of spiritual enlightenment and the recognition of divine presence in all aspects of life. The viewer is guided through various elements of the engraving, including the multiple celestial figures, the symbols of the church, and the sea, all pointing toward the divine. This intriguing artwork, part of the Rijksmuseum collection, exemplifies the artistic expression of religious belief during this period.
