Adversity makes man look like Christ, Gaspar Bouttats, 1679, Page from a book (p. 185) with text on verso. In an oval cartouche the interior of a mint. In the foreground two men are minting coins. In the background, a mint is firing a plate. Above the cartouche the title (motto) of the print and a quotation from the Bible (Galatians 4:19). Below the print a caption: 'Den slagh maect rijck, en oock gelijck' and a description explaining the print. Adversity is here compared to the minting process. The coins are heated and struck so that each coin is equal. Comparatively, adversity is a method of making people equal to each other. Furthermore, every adversity is a reminder of Christ's suffering., print maker: Gaspar Bouttats, (mentioned on object), F.
