Exempel und Lehr Jetziger Welt Lauf is a 1622 ink by Andreas Bretschneider III, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
In this etching, a group of men gather around a large chest filled with coins and jewels. They are dressed in 17th-century attire, with hats and long coats. The scene is set against a backdrop of a room with a tiled floor and a window. One of the men is shown opening the chest, while another looks on with interest. The chest itself is adorned with intricate carvings and has a large lock on the front. This image is a great example of Baroque art, which often featured elaborate and detailed scenes. If you're interested in learning more about this style, you could explore the works of artists like Caravaggio or Rembrandt, who were both prominent figures in the Baroque movement.
