In 1763, an old man with a long beard holds a stick sword-hilt, his weathered face reflecting wisdom earned through years of experience. This etching from Democritus Meditation in 1662 takes us on a philosophical journey. The crucifixion of Polycrates captures the tyrant's capture by Persians, showcasing the power dynamics at play during that era. The sleeping warrior seated on a rock, leaning on his shield series transports us to moments of rest amidst battles fought. A landscape figure is seated on a rock in ca 1640 etching, inviting us to contemplate the beauty of nature and our place within it. Another image shows a man wearing a long outer garment cap pointing left - perhaps guiding us towards hidden treasures or secret paths. A male figure reclining on a rock points while holding flute; his music resonates with our souls as we imagine ourselves lost in its enchanting melody. The Prodigal Son Houghton Gallery in 1781 depicts an early state of repentance - reminding us that redemption is always possible if we seek it sincerely. This collection showcases various mediums - etchings, engravings, imitation drawings - each piece telling its own unique story. Landscape herdsmen from ca 1640-1645 transport us to pastoral scenes where simplicity reigns supreme. And then there's the Prodigal Son Kneeling Repentant Swine between 1615-73; this powerful image reminds us of humility and forgiveness. Finally, we are immersed in landscapes featuring water foreground and distant mountains; their serene beauty invites contemplation and reflection.
