Author: Luiken, Jan, 1649-1712
Image Title: The Tannery: Pay Attention Where Thou Dost Join
Scripture Reference:
Description: A worker sits on the edge of a deep pit next to a basked full of bark, while a second basket is being carried to him. A third workman next to him shows him how soft a tanned skin has become. In the background are various sheds and a workman carries a stiff, un-tanned animal skin. 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 2 Peter 1:4.
