Coornhert, after a design by Maarten van Heemskerck, illustrates the biblical parable of the Great Banquet found in Luke 14:20. The Latin inscription at the base, 'Uxorem duxi, et ideo non possum venire', translates to 'I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come'. This scene depicts the third excuse offered by a guest invited to the feast, who prioritises his domestic life over the spiritual invitation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCoornhert employs a precise, linear technique characteristic of mid-sixteenth-century Dutch printmaking. The composition is structured around a central figure of a nobleman, dressed in contemporary sixteenth-century attire, who gestures towards a messenger. To the right, his wife sits upon a stone bench, positioned near a herm or classical bust, which adds a layer of humanist symbolism to the domestic setting. A dog sits between the couple, serving as a traditional emblem of fidelity. The background features an architectural landscape with arched bridges and buildings, rendered with a sense of depth that draws the eye into the distance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVan Heemskerck's influence is evident in the muscularity of the figures and the elaborate, somewhat theatrical drapery of the clothing. The print functions as both a moralising narrative and a display of technical skill in copperplate engraving. The cross-hatching and varied line weights define the textures of the stone, the fabric of the garments, and the atmospheric quality of the urban environment. As a piece of Northern Renaissance art, it reflects the period's interest in combining classical motifs with Christian didacticism, providing a window into the visual culture of the Netherlands during the Reformation era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/wapenschilden-abraham-de-bruyn\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eWapenschilden - Abraham de Bruyn — Abraham de Bruyn\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/vase-orne-denfans-hans-sebald-beham\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eVase Orné d'Enfans - Hans Sebald Beham — Hans Sebald Beham\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Dirck Volckertsz.
