Author: Luiken, Jan, 1649-1712
Image Title: The Bow
Scripture Reference:
Description: In a city field, a boy shoots an arrow with a large bow, while a second boy is in the process of stringing his crossbow and two men comment on this scene. The Dutch artist and poet Jan Luiken (1649-1712) began drawing the image (but Pieter Sluiter [1675-1713] finished the background) and composed the brief poem that accompanies it (below). The attendant Scripture texts are Exod 2:23-25; Ps 38:9; 78:56-57; Jer 9:3; and Matt 16:26.
