Author: Luiken, Jan, 1649-1712
Image Title: The Closet
Scripture Reference:
Description: The luxury of this home with its well-stocked linen closet is an indictment of all who ignore the poor and seek their own comfort on earth (Matthew 19:21). The poem urges the reader to get rid of the beautiful linens from the closet of flesh and wood so that the soul may prosper. The Dutch artist and poet Jan Luiken (1649–1712), whose initials are at the lower right, was responsible for drawing and etching this emblem and wrote the accompanying poem.
