"Parable of the Workers"

Jacob Willemszoon de Wet or Jacob Willemsz. de Wet the Elder (c. 1610 – between 1675 and 1691) was a Dutch Golden Age painter whose works were largely influenced by Rembrandt.  

Jacob Willemszoon de Wet was a student of Rembrandt and he had himself a larger circle of pupils. He obviously received the idea of the octave in his training and, as his image of "worship" shows, he also understood it as an inner way of realization. His paintings also testify that the knowledge of the law of the octave was known in the Dutch schools of painting and was conveyed as a structure of the spiritual way of man. In the individuals of his images, the psychic states of the different stages of the spiritual way are clearly recognizable.
