Author: Luiken, Jan, 1649-1712
Image Title: The Bellows
Scripture Reference:
Description: A man admonishes his servant to blow air on the fire, while there is still a spark, even as the Apostle Paul admonished his churches to live by the Spirit (Galatians 5:16). The attendant poem observes that what is in the heart will smolder and smoke many years and never burst into flame without air, and sometimes this deficit is due to a clogged or absent bellows. 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 wrote the accompanying poem.
