Reason Admonishes the Churches to Tolerance

Reason admonishes the churches to tolerance. At a table sit the Pope, Luther, and Calvin. Two cats sit on the Pope's shoulders eating pap, Luther plays the lute, and Calvin squeezes orange juice onto his veal. On the left, a Baptist kneels by the hearth. Above the hearth a group of statues of Charity. In the foreground stands a personification of Reason (Ratio) in the figure of a kitchen maid, to the right by the door another kitchen maid who probably personifies Tolerance with a deer (a reference to Coornhert?). Emblematic print on the Reformation, theme ca. 1560. The representation contains several cartouches with texts in German. With a caption of 10 lines in which the representation is explained in detail. German copy after an unknown Dutch original.
