"1667: A Year of Celestial Confrontations and Earthly Expulsions" In this eventful year, Satan flies to Earth, his malevolent presence felt by all. Lord Lovat and Hogarth capture the essence of this dark arrival in their haunting artworks. Meanwhile, Satan convenes a council, plotting his wicked schemes with rebel angels summoned from the depths of hell. Their nefarious plans threaten to disrupt the very fabric of existence. Amidst these cosmic upheavals, Michiel de Ruyter assumes the role of Lieutenant-Admiral in 1667. Ferdinand's portrayal immortalizes his bravery as he navigates treacherous waters during turbulent times. The world stage also witnesses Moliere's masterpiece "Tartuffe, " a scathing critique on hypocrisy and deceit that resonates even today. This theatrical gem exposes society's vulnerability to false prophets and cunning manipulators. While earthly matters unfold, Nicolaus Copernicus revolutionizes our understanding of the universe with his groundbreaking work on celestial orbs. His discoveries challenge long-held beliefs and pave the way for scientific progress. On another front, a hand-colored engraving reveals a map depicting Virginia and Florida in 1667. This intricate artwork showcases early cartographic endeavors while offering glimpses into colonial expansion during this era. Charles II appears as an infant surrounded by his ancestors in a captivating painting circa 1667. The regal lineage depicted here symbolizes continuity amidst tumultuous times – a beacon of hope for stability amid chaos. Gabriel Metsu leaves behind an indelible artistic legacy before departing from this mortal realm in 1667. His masterful brushstrokes continue to captivate audiences centuries later, reminding us of art's enduring power to transcend time. Hendrik Spiegel stands tall as an influential figure during these transformative years – shaping politics and leaving an indelible mark on history through his actions and decisions.
