Bruid in gesprek met Godsvrucht 1574

"Bruid in gesprek met Godsvrucht" (Bride in Conversation with Piety) is a 1574 engraving by Hieronymus Wierix, a Flemish artist known for his detailed and expressive works. This small print, measuring only 92 mm by 139 mm, depicts a scene of allegorical figures. The central figure, representing the Bride, sits with a woman symbolizing Piety, while a third figure, representing a different allegorical concept, enters through a door. This composition, typical of Wierix's style, uses intricate detail and symbolic imagery to explore the theme of spiritual devotion and the relationship between faith and human experience.
