III Evertit sed aptat 1614

This engraving, titled "III Evertit sed aptat," is part of Roemer Visscher's series "Van de Sinnepoppen" and depicts a plow in the act of turning over soil. The image, created in 1614, showcases Visscher's meticulous detail in portraying the plow and its mechanism. This print, housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Visscher's skill in capturing the essence of agricultural tools and the Dutch Golden Age's fascination with everyday objects. This work exemplifies the "sinnepoppen" genre, where everyday objects are used as metaphors for moral lessons, making it a valuable piece for understanding Dutch culture of the 17th century.
