Naakt liefdespaar betrapt door vrouwen

Bernard Fullenius (mentioned on object), 1670 - 1674

Engraving for a theological work by minister Balthasar Bekker. At the top, a scene of adult catechesis, likely set in the choir of a church — the kind of spiritual teaching Bekker’s “solid food” was meant for. Below, the three Christian virtues Faith, Hope, and Charity (Love) are shown freeing fallen humanity (Adam and Eve) from the heavy burden of the Jewish Law (represented by the stone tablets) and of sin. This is echoed in the moralistic verse beneath the image.
