Memorial for Joannes de Fremery

A monument for Joannes de Fremery, professor and preacher in Middelburg, who died in 1819. On the pillar the portrait of De Fremery is attached and the base shows a plaque with an eight-line text in Dutch. The monument is flanked by Faith with a book on her lap and in her hand a quill and by the mourning Religion. A putto shows the portrait of a church interior. On the ground lie the extinguished and broken torch and an hourglass as a sign of death. To the left in the background stand two figures between sheaves of corn, one of whom points upwards to the sunlight. The bound sheaves indicate the Last Judgment, where God will harvest the seed or his Word that has fallen into good ground, according to the parable of the sower.
