Twee rijtuigen en hun gebruik 1696

This print shows us two carriages, rendered with fine lines, revealing not just a mode of transport but a narrative of human ingenuity. The wheel, a simple circle, echoes through millennia. Consider the chariot wheels of ancient Egypt, symbols of power and mobility, as well as the Celtic cross and Buddhist Dharma wheel, which all contain the wheel. Over time, this symbol has transformed from a practical tool to a motif laden with spiritual and philosophical meaning. The progression of the carriages from a basic form to a more elaborate design mirrors humanity's journey from simple problem-solving to complex innovation. Emotionally, the image appeals to our subconscious recognition of progress, the deep-seated memory of our collective climb through the ages. It’s a visual echo of our persistent drive. The wheel carries forward, gathering new meanings with each turn through time.
