"Geschiedenis ontsluiert door Vader Tijd en Waarheid" ("History Unveiled by Father Time and Truth") is an etching by Dutch artist Bernard Picart, created in 1732. This artwork, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, depicts Father Time, with wings, revealing the truth (represented by a woman) to the viewer. This allegorical engraving highlights the power of time and truth to unveil the mysteries of history. The intricate details and the emphasis on a classical theme speak to Picart's mastery of the Rococo style, which was popular in 18th-century Europe.
