Voncken der liefde Jesu, van het Godt-begerende zielen-vuur : zynde bloemetjes der saalige hoope, tot verheugelykheid der wandelaars, langs den weg, na vreeden-ryk : een behelsinge van vyftig sinne-beelden, met hunne, daar op speelende, verssen, en heylige spreuken
A Dutch emblem book of fifty devotional emblems with accompanying verses and scripture mottoes, etched and written by Jan Luyken and printed in Amsterdam in 1696 by the widow of Pieter Arentsz for pious Protestant readers. The small upright etchings set one to three figures in plain dress against open country with farmhouses, church towers, gnarled trees and rising smoke, drawn in fine hatching that leaves skies and foregrounds pale; useful for vignette-scale figure groups, ruled cloud and horizon textures, and modest Dutch landscape backdrops.
