Vox Dei, by Thomas Scott is a 1624 ink by Crispijn van de Passe I, a Baroque work, held at Rosenwald Collection.
This engraving shows a giant arm reaching down with a small child on its palm. Below, a group of men stand in a box labeled "King and Kingdom," each surrounded by smaller portraits. Around them, tiny figures fight, while clouds of faces and weapons swirl at the bottom. The giant’s words—*"Vox Dei"* (Voice of God)—float above, with phrases like *"All in All"* and *"Doeth no harm."* The mix of power and chaos suggests God’s control over kings and wars. Next, check out engraving to see how artists carved these detailed scenes into metal.
