Allegorische titelpagina met personificatie van de Hervormde kerk 1725

"Allegorische titelpagina met personificatie van de Hervormde kerk" is an etching by Frederik Ottens created in 1725. This small but intricate print depicts an allegorical representation of the Reformed Church. A winged figure sits majestically on a stone plinth, holding a book and symbolizing the church. A woman, likely representing Truth, gestures towards a small child reading a book. This suggests the importance of knowledge and education within the church. The print, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, reflects the Dutch Golden Age's emphasis on religious imagery and its value as a tool for conveying moral and spiritual messages.
