Spiegel der gelukzaligheid 1610

This etching, titled "Spiegel der gelukzaligheid," was created by Theodoor Galle in 1610. The artwork depicts a complex scene of religious imagery, likely relating to Christian faith and salvation. The scene features a variety of figures, including angels, saints, and the Virgin Mary, all set against a backdrop of heavenly glory. The inscription, "Purga aciem mentis: Divinum lumine recto, Sedibus athereis, vt SPECVVLERE iubar," suggests a theme of spiritual purification and the pursuit of divine light. This intricate etching is a testament to the skill of Theodoor Galle and offers a glimpse into the religious sensibilities of the early 17th century.
