Holl. XXIII, p 136
Herman Saftleven (the Younger) Saftleven (1609-1685)
Cornelis Saftleven (1607-1681)
210 x 265 mm
3rd state.
Hollstein attributes this to Herman only, and says this is a copy, the original being 236 x 267mm, and doesn't mention any collaboration between the two brothers
This is almost certainly a reference to the Biblical Parable of the Prodigal Son.
A farmer gives his two sons their inheritance early. The elder son keeps it and works the fields as before. The younger son goes on a spree and, having spent every last groat, is reduced to working as a swineherd. When he's at the point of envying the pigs--who are probably worth more to his employer than he is and are thus better fed--he decides to go home in shame and humbly ask his father to take him back as a servant.
The father, however, is overjoyed to see his son return home and throws a big party for him. The elder son, who stayed home, is unhappy about this, but the father explains that, while he is happy that his elder son stayed by his side, he is happier still that the lost son had returned. The elder son doesn't get it and remains pissed.
God and His angels being happiest to see a sinner return to the fold, etc. etc.
The swineherd in the etching is the prodigal son, is still walking away from the glory that he can't see awaits him. Also, the road he's on leads away from the lush landscape and toward a barren tree with rocks. Finally--and a friend from Rotterdam alerted me to this--the two figures in the middle ground are itinerant pedlars ("marskramers"). Before the Dutch Revolt (1578), pedlars also carried Protestant leaflets into the Catholic Netherlands, spreading the Reformation. During and after, some carried Catholic pamphlets into the Protestant Netherlands. Marskramer is the name of a Rotterdam chain of shops selling household goods, the equivalent of Amsterdam's Blokker.
Albrecht Dürer and Hans Sebald Beham also showed the Prodigal Son hitting bottom as a swineherd.

On the top floor of Tesco's car park in Chester, I found some chav had scratched a view of the skyline into the lead roofing.
It's not half bad.
Success is as dangerous as failure. Hope is as hollow as fear. What does it mean that success is a dangerous as failure? Whether you go up the ladder or down it, your position is shaky. When you stand with your two feet on the ground, you will always keep your balance. What does it mean that hope is as hollow as fear? Hope and fear are both phantoms that arise from thinking of the self. When we don't see the self as self, what do we have to fear? See the world as your self. Have faith in the way things are. Love the world as your self; then you can care for all things.

Modern day reproduction of Rembrandt's self portrait etching plate and an image struck from it at the Rembranthuis.
This one isn't anything special, but Flame Painter is capable of some cool etching effects. A little hard to control, though.
