Cornelis Galle I after Sir Peter Paul Rubens

National Gallery of Art

The image features three religious figures, depicted waist up in a triangular composition. The central figure is a bearded man with long hair, wearing a mitre and holding a heart with a flame in his left hand, while pointing upwards with his right. Flanking him are two other bearded men wearing mitres and holding staffs. Both hold texts, with the left figure wearing robes adorned with a cross. The scene includes engravings of flourishes and symbols, with the Latin inscription "CHARITAS DEI" above them in the clouds, illuminated with rays. The engraving is framed by an ornate border and a title plaque at the base contains detailed Latin text about Cornelius Jansen, with elaborate scrollwork and decorative motifs. The background is filled with stylized clouds and radiant light, set on a plain background, suggesting it is part of a book or manuscript.
