This anonymous engraving, "Het strijdperk van de Christelijke Ridder" (The Battlefield of the Christian Knight), dated 1630-1650, depicts a highly detailed and complex battle scene. The artwork is rich in symbolism and likely serves as an allegory of the struggle between good and evil, with the Christian knight representing faith and virtue facing a vast and menacing army of vice. The intricate details and numerous figures showcase the artist's skill and the popularity of such allegorical imagery during this period. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
