"Piscator Nicolas Joannes: A Journey Through Time and Art" Step back in time to the 17th century as we explore the captivating works of Piscator Nicolas Joannes. This collection takes us on a visual adventure, showcasing various artistic creations that transport us to different realms. Imagine yourself standing by a square tower, now transformed into an inn near a serene river. Created in 1641 by Jan van de Velde II and Claes Jansz Visscher, this artwork invites you to ponder its rich history and imagine the stories it holds within its walls. Gillis van Breen's "The Commandment to Love One Another" from 1599 reminds us of the timeless importance of compassion and unity. As we gaze upon this masterpiece, let its message resonate deep within our hearts. Intriguingly, we encounter Bellona at left in the frontispiece depicting Alexander the Great's life. This powerful figure symbolizes war and conquest, reminding us of both humanity's triumphs and struggles throughout history. Petrus Feddes' depictions of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John from "The Four Evangelists" series (1610-20) offer glimpses into religious narratives with their intricate details. These artworks serve as windows into biblical stories that have shaped countless lives over centuries. Rene Boyvin presents two exquisite vases - one adorned with dancing women and satyrs while another showcases a river god in an oval medallion. These delicate pieces capture moments frozen in time; their beauty transcends generations. Claes Jansz Visscher's "The Pentecost" (1574) transports us to witness this significant event through his skilled craftsmanship. The divine energy emanating from this piece fills our souls with awe-inspiring wonder. Jan Muller's depiction of "The Fight Between Ulysses & Irus" (ca. 1590) brings to life the intensity of this legendary battle.
