Fishing for Souls, 1614
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting by Adriaen Pietersz. van de Venne that depicts an allegory on religious jealousy during the Dutch revolt in the 17th century. In this truce period of the Eighty Years War, Protestant and Catholic factions are seen fishing for souls in a river that divides them. The left side of the painting showcases sunny and leafy surroundings where the Protestant north Netherlanders have a larger catch than their Catholic counterparts from the south. This asymmetry symbolizes how Protestants flourished like fruitful trees while Catholics struggled to gain followers. The composition references a psalm that speaks of righteousness flourishing like a tree bearing fruit with unwithering leaves. The symbolism is further enhanced by various figures present in the artwork. Notable individuals from both sides can be identified, including Protestant leaders such as Princes of Orange, Maurice and Frederick Henry, Frederick V of Palatinate, James I of England, and young Louis XIII of France with his mother Maria de Medici. On the other hand, Catholic representatives include Archduke Albert and Isabella along with General Ambrosio Spinola, cardinals, priests, and even the Pope himself. Each figure's fisherman's net is marked with words representing faith (Faith), hope (Hope), or charity (Charity). This remarkable piece housed at Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam serves as an intriguing historical document showcasing religious tensions during one of Europe's most significant conflicts between Protestantism and Catholicism.
