Pax intrantibus 1914

"Pax Intrantibus" ("Peace to Those Who Enter") is a woodcut print created by Dutch artist Bernard Willem Wierink in 1914. The piece features two figures, one standing in an arched opening against a starlit night sky, and the other in a similar opening below, holding a staff. The simplified forms and stylized figures evoke a sense of quiet dignity and a call for peace, particularly poignant given the year of its creation, on the eve of World War I. The print is now housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
