Gelijkenis van de arbeiders in de wijngaard 1597

"Gelijkenis van de arbeiders in de wijngaard" (Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard) is an engraving by Flemish artist Jan (II) Collaert. Created in 1597, this small, detailed print depicts the biblical story of workers hired to labor in a vineyard. The scene unfolds in a landscape with a farmhouse and a group of laborers, some of whom have been working since morning, while others are hired later in the day. The owner of the vineyard, standing prominently in the foreground, pays all the workers the same amount, despite their different hours of work. This engraving illustrates a moral message about the importance of God's grace and the potential for redemption, even for those who come to faith later in life.
