Author: Luiken, Jan, 1649-1712
Image Title: The Jack: Powerful, Beyond Conjecture
Scripture Reference:
Description: In the foreground, a man compares the power of his hand with that of a screw jack, powered by a crank. Behind him, several workers use a jack to lift heavy slabs of stone while working on building a gate. In the right back-ground two men work on the roof of a church. The Dutch artist and poet Jan Luiken (1649-1712), whose initials are at the lower right, was responsible for drawing and etching this emblem, as well as for the poem that accompanies it (below). The attendant Scripture text is 1 John 5:4-5.
