1689 Choosing Doctrine Flat Heaven Jan Luyken Letterpress Printing Lots Love Narrow Pathway Pilgrim Salvation Steep Wide Broad Way Choice Faced Narrow Way

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Liszt Collection, we are transported back to Amsterdam in 1689. The image depicts a pilgrim standing at a crossroads, faced with an important decision - choosing between two paths that will ultimately shape their destiny. The narrow path on the left appears steep and challenging, winding its way through rugged terrain. Yet it promises salvation and leads to a vast expanse of space and heavenly bliss. This pathway represents the doctrine of Christ's love, emphasizing the importance of faith and righteousness. On the other hand, the wide path on the right seems invitingly easy to traverse. It stretches out before us as a flat road leading into desolation and rush. This broad way symbolizes worldly temptations and distractions that divert one from spiritual growth. Jan Luyken's masterful letterpress printing brings this thought-provoking scene to life on paper measuring just 90mm in height by 80mm in width. The intricate details capture every nuance of emotion etched onto our pilgrim's face as they contemplate their choice. This evocative artwork serves as a timeless reminder for all who gaze upon it - life is full of choices, some narrow and difficult but leading to ultimate fulfillment, while others may seem wide and easy but lead only to emptiness. May we all find inspiration in this image as we navigate our own journeys towards enlightenment and salvation.
