Forging the Heads, Johann Theodor de Bry, 1611 Canvas Print

Forging the Heads, Johann Theodor de Bry, 1611 Canvas Print

In a forge, human heads are forged. They are "hard heads" who point to a stubborn and proud attitude. The vice of stubbornness can only be changed by forging the "sorry deer bulbs". There are so many of them and they are so ubiquitous today that the blacksmiths will probably spend forever doing this work. The accompanying epigram reports: Maer already did wy t'ambacht reuwich with pyne / Noch sal men over already in Landen end'cities / In terms of heads ghenoech find t'allen termyne. Emblem no. 4 from Emblemata Saecularia, 1611
