This print showcases the "Allegory of the board of the city of Amsterdam with the name list and coat of arms". Created by renowned artists Gerard de Lairesse and Jacobus Robijn in 1672, this masterpiece beautifully captures the essence of good government and heraldry. The framed artwork depicts a grand scene where cities are symbolically represented, emphasizing unity and strength. The prominent coat of arms proudly displays family crests, while thrones symbolize authority. At their feet lies a powerful weapon, representing protection and defense. Intricate details adorn this maritime-themed composition, featuring a sailing ship gracefully navigating through turbulent waters. The vessel represents Amsterdam's significance as a hub for shipping and trade. Silhouettes against the backdrop add depth to its marine atmosphere. Personified figures abound within this allegorical piece; blindfolded justice holds an armful of books while prudence guides her actions. Father Time is depicted with wings and an hourglass, reminding us that time waits for no one. Symbolism is abundant throughout this artwork: arrows synthesize into hands held by putti, signifying unity; Minerva personifies wisdom with an olive branch in hand; fame blows her trumpet announcing accomplishments while burn marks remind us that nothing lasts forever. Captured by Quint Lox from Liszt Collection, this print allows viewers to appreciate every intricate detail meticulously crafted by De Lairesse and Robijn over three centuries ago. It serves as a reminder of Amsterdam's rich history rooted
