Historie door Waarheid onderricht 1677 - 1755

"Historie door Waarheid onderricht" is a drawing by Dutch artist Elias van Nijmegen created between 1677 and 1755. The drawing depicts a winged figure, perhaps Truth, holding a book as she sits on a throne and instructs a group of people. The figure is surrounded by other allegorical figures including a man with a scythe representing Death and a woman representing History, who is seemingly handing Truth a laurel wreath. This allegorical artwork, created in the Baroque style, conveys a message about the importance of learning and the value of historical knowledge.
