Mirror of Allusions

Three believers kneel before a nine-part mirror. The mirrors show allusions to the divinity of Christ and relate this to the life of man. Among others depicted: Christ appears as a gardener to Mary Magdalene; the Transfiguration and the Emmaus travelers. The print has a Latin inscription: 'Naturam iuvat artis opus; specvloque magistro, Praecipit arcans emaculare notas'. At the bottom a legend of the scenes which are numbered alphabetically on the image. The print is part of a twelve-print series (XI out of XII prints) with the subject twelve mirrors with which man tries to see God.
