Titelblad van het pamflet: Verklaert dit vijsioen, en wilt het wel besien het is gedroomt seer coen, sestien hondert vijftien, 1615 1615

This 1615 woodcut, titled "Verklaert dit vysioen, en wilt het wel befien het is gedroomt feer coen, sestien hondert vyftien," is an anonymous work depicting a scene of religious allegory. The image, which is the title page of a pamphlet, likely uses symbolism to communicate a message related to religious anxieties and societal issues of the time. The scene features a figure in a clerical robe offering a branch to a large, saddled horse. The horse represents the Church, perhaps, with its saddle adorned with the inscription "Trexaden pennine" which may symbolize the burden of the Church. Two other figures, one representing the Spanish Tyranny, and the other representing the Inquisition, suggest that the artwork is a reflection of the political and religious anxieties of 17th century Holland. This intriguing woodcut, found in the Rijksmuseum, is a valuable glimpse into the social and cultural landscape of its time.
