Author: Luiken, Jan, 1649-1712
Image Title: The Sun: How Much More Beautiful Is the Origin
Scripture Reference:
Description: Seated in front of a house, a husband looks at the sun while shielding his eyes as the wife looks away from the sun. A dog lying in front of them looks at the couple. In the background the sun illuminates beautiful scenery, consisting of a lake, some islands, mountains, and a man and his dog walking along the lake. The Dutch artist and poet Jan Luiken (1649-1712) was responsible for drawing this emblem and composed the poem that accompanies it. The etching was executed by Jan Luiken or his son Casper Luiken (1672-1708), who had used this image in an earlier work, which may be found in the Digital Image Archive under the call number 1699Weig. The attendant scripture text is Psalm 104:2.
