Author: Luiken, Jan, 1649-1712
Image Title: The Negligence
Scripture Reference:
Description: Four men, who find the World in front of a narrow gate at the entrance to the narrow path ascending to Heaven, rest by leaning against it [the World] instead of pushing the obstruction aside. The Dutch artist and poet Jan Luiken (1649-1712), whose initials are at the lower right, was responsible for drawing and etching this emblem and for the poem that accompanies it (below). The attendant scripture text is Acts 14:22.
