Groeningen, Gerard van, Antwerp, Huys, Frans, Salvation path of man, Man is reborn and destroys his Good Works, verso - stamped, Two biblical allegories in an architectural setting. On the left, Man is baptized in the Spirit by God, who in the form of a man on the clouds lays his hand on Man. Because Man is thereby reborn, he is naked and has taken off his habit. The personifications of the Ingenuity and Conscience flee. The personifications of Eternal Death, Disobedience and Sin lie on the ground, struck down by God. On the right, Man, in the guise of a nun, beats his Good Works with a club. The rosary, scallop shell and indulgences lie broken and torn on the ground. This representation symbolises man, who no longer trusts in his own good works and strength, but in Christ alone. Below both representations a four-line verse in Low German and a four-line text in Latin. Numbers 19 and 20 from a reformed series on the sinfulness and justification of man., print, prints, height 274 mm, width 361 mm, 1522 - 1562, print maker, printmaker, 1546 - 1562, paper, papier, engraving, engraving (printing process), Work conception, South Netherlands, 1515 - 1599
