Leer, jongheid, hoe de deugd, geprent in d'eerste jaren, / De mensch uit 't nedrig stof tot d'eersten stand doet varen / Apprenez, par ceci que la vertu conduit, / A la gloire aux honneurs, et que le bien s'en suit 1800 - 1833

"Leer, jongheid, hoe de deugd, geprent in d'eerste jaren, / De mensch uit 't nedrig stof tot d'eersten stand doet varen" is a colorful 19th-century Dutch print by Philippus Jacobus Brepols. The artwork, now at the Rijksmuseum, features a series of 20 vignettes illustrating the moral lessons of virtue and its rewards, using simple, bold imagery and clear, concise text. The print likely served as an educational tool for young children, teaching them about virtue, hard work, and its resulting success. Each panel depicts a distinct scene, highlighting the importance of good behavior and the consequences of its absence. The use of vibrant color and simple symbolism contribute to the print's lasting appeal.
