This image is a complex and detailed engraving titled "Icones Operum Misericordiae quae ad Corpus Pertiant," created by Marcus Sadeler and David Custodis. The engraving appears to be a religious-themed piece focusing on the corporal works of mercy, typically associated with Christian teachings.

At the center of the illustration, a radiant and celestial figure, presumably Jesus Christ, stands atop a globe surrounded by a divine halo, extending blessings and judgement as illustrated according to the Gospel of Matthew. Below this central figure is a chaotic scene depicting souls being summoned by angels to either paradise or perdition, symbolizing the Last Judgment.

The artwork is divided into several panels that provide visual and textual references to the seven corporal works of mercy. These works are reflected both in Latin text and accompanying images:

1. Pasce Esurientes (Feed the Hungry) - Depicted on the left with an image of a basket containing food.
2. Da Potum Sittentibus (Give Drink to the Thirsty) - Located below the 'Feed the Hungry' panel, symbolized by a pitcher.
3. Cooperi Nudos (Clothe the Naked) - The bottom left panel, represented by clothes.
4. Redime Captivos (Ransom the Captive) - The top right panel, shown with a depiction of prisoners.
5. Visita Infirmos (Visit the Sick) - Below the 'Ransom the Captive' panel, symbolized by a scene of care.
6. Sepeli Mortuos (Bury the Dead) - Central bottom panel, symbolized by a skull and crossbones, a burial shroud, and other funeral imagery.
7. Collige Hospites (Shelter the Homeless) - The bottom right panel, depicted with implements of shelter and care.

At the very bottom, there is a dedication in Latin to Perill, an abbot, indicating the reverence and respect held for the works of mercy depicted in the piece.

The engraving combines text and symbolic imagery to convey its religious message effectively, serving both as an instructional guide and a devotional piece aligned with Christian teachings on charity and compassion.

The image displayed is an intricate and detailed engraving consisting of a central tableau flanked by two columns of panels. Each panel in the side columns contains symbolism and text that seems to relate to Christian virtues or acts of mercy. The central scene appears to be allegorical or biblical, likely depicting a scene of judgement or heavenly reward, featuring figures that may represent different virtues or spiritual entities. There are cherubs, people donned in various garments, and numerous details that suggest this piece is rooted in religious iconography.

The top and bottom banners contain Latin text. At the top left, it says "VENITE: BENEDICTI PATRIS: MEI POSSEDE: PARATVM VOBIS REGNVM A CONSTITVTIONE MVNDI MATTHAEI CAPITE XXV V", and at the top right, it says "DISCEDITE A ME MALEDICTI IN IGNE. AETERNVM PARATVM EST DIAVOLO ET ANGELIS EIVS MATTHAEI CAPITE XXV V". This text is derived from the Bible, specifically from the Gospel of Matthew, chapter 25, and speaks to the division between the blessed and the cursed at the time of judgement. These texts correspond to the two sides depicted in the central image—one possibly portraying the saved and the other the damned.

The central banner reads "ICONES OPERVM MISERICORDIAE quae ad CORPUS pertinent", which translates to "images of the works of mercy which pertain to the body", suggesting the thematic focus of the engraving is on the corporal works of mercy. These acts are a part of Christian ethics, describing specific kinds of acts of compassion by which Christians are to treat those in need.

The bottom of the image attributes the work to someone with the surname "Sadeler," likely a member of the Sadeler family, who were renowned printmakers of the 16th and 17th centuries in Europe.

The side panels each have a title with associated symbolism that likely corresponds to these works of mercy, such as "PASCE ESVRIENTES" (feed the hungry), "REDEME CAPTIVOS" (ransom the captive), "COOPERI NVDOS" (clothe the naked), "SEPELI MORTVOS" (bury the dead), and "VISITA INFIRMOS" (visit the sick), among others.
