Eendracht maakt macht 1540 - 1567

"Eendracht maakt macht" (Unity makes strength) is a woodcut print from the 16th century, created by an anonymous artist. The artwork depicts three figures representing different social groups: a traveler, a lord, and a burgher. The figures are positioned in front of a town, with the inscription "Eendracht maakt macht" and Latin proverbs promoting unity and harmony. The detailed woodcut style and the allegory of unity in the face of adversity are characteristic of the early Netherlandish printmaking tradition. This artwork provides a fascinating glimpse into the social and political climate of 16th century Europe.
