This 17th-century Dutch emblem print, created by an unknown artist, portrays a complex allegorical scene. At the top of the composition, two figures, likely representing God the Father and the Holy Spirit, appear in a celestial sphere. The artist uses a visual language of rays of light, angels, and various figures representing the different spheres of life, emphasizing the omnipresence of God and the interconnectedness of all things. The print's intricate details and complex symbolism suggest a sophisticated audience interested in religious and philosophical thought.
