Seditio (Rebellion), or the Separation of the Netherlands
Dirck Volckertsz. Coornhert, 1604
Two bodies joined at the hip fight one another. Against the background of religious violence they seem to have forgotten that they form a single entity and so destroy each other. Here they symbolize the Netherlands and the civil war that has erupted. Without mutual reconciliation and some form of tolerance the two combating Netherlandish parties will suffer a senseless defeat.
