"Vermaak uwe oogen, jeugd! in 't zevental planeeten" is a Dutch engraving by A. Robyn depicting the seven planets of the solar system, personified as figures, standing on a tiered platform with a large archway. This allegorical representation dates from the 18th century and reflects the then-prevalent understanding of the universe, where the earth was believed to be the center. The engraving, housed at the Rijksmuseum, offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of science and astronomy in the Netherlands, providing a visual representation of knowledge about the cosmos as understood at the time.
