EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures the mesmerizing artwork titled "t Licht is op den kandelaer gestelt" by the Dutch School in the 17th century. The oil on canvas painting measures 94.4x128.6 cm and belongs to a private collection. In this composition, various significant figures from both Catholicism and Protestantism are depicted engaging in a peculiar activity. On one side of the table, we see a bishop, Jesuit, devil disguised as a salamander, pope, and monk attempting to blow out a candle placed at the center of attention. These figures symbolize opposition to the Protestant Reformation. On the opposite side of the table stand individuals who played crucial roles in promoting Protestant beliefs during that period. The candle itself holds great symbolism as it rests upon the gospel book, representing how the Reformation brought enlightenment back into focus. The inscription on top reads "TLICHT IS OP DEN KANDELAER GESTELT / Verkeerde Geleertheit" which translates to "The light is set on the candlestick / Wrong Learning". Below it are further inscriptions identifying key historical figures associated with both Catholicism and Protestantism. This image not only showcases remarkable artistic skill but also provides insight into religious conflicts and ideological battles that shaped European history during this era.
