"Met rijkdom, macht en genot verleidt de duivel de mens" (With wealth, power, and pleasure the devil tempts man) is an engraving by Dirck Volckertsz Coornhert created in 1550. The engraving shows a devil painting a nude man with a halo, who is also being attended to by another nude man. This engraving, now in the Rijksmuseum, uses the allegorical language of the Northern Renaissance to depict the dangers of worldly temptation.
