Titelpagina voor: Andreas de la Moneda, Cvrsvs Vtrivsqve Theologiae 1672

This title page for a book on theology, titled *Cvrsvs Vtrivsqve Theologiae*, was designed by Dutch artist Richard Collin in 1672. The engraving showcases a central cartouche with a dedication to the book’s patron, Antonio Fernandez de Castro, a Spanish nobleman, with his coat of arms displayed below. It is surrounded by various figures, including angels, the personified figures of scholastic and moral theology, and religious figures, including St. Anselm and St. Thomas Aquinas. The composition is dynamic, drawing the viewer’s eye upwards towards the chariot drawn by a winged horse, representing the triumph of theology. This page provides an insightful glimpse into the cultural context of 17th century Netherlands, demonstrating the importance of religious scholarship and patronage within society.
