Veritatis Imago: Visuelle Konzepte der Wahrheit in der niederländischen Druckgraphik des 16. und 17. Jahrhunderts

The study analyzes differentiated concepts of truth in Dutch prints of the 16th and 17th centuries. Against the backdrop of religious and political crises of the time, it elaborates on how copperplate engravings and etchings not only represent veritas but, by problematizing their own medial status, reflect on visual forms of evidence generation and art’s specific capacity for truth.
