{"product_id":"jan-luyken-dirk-willems","title":"Jan Luyken – Dirk Willems, Saving the Pursuer","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the winter of 1569, a man fleeing for his faith turned back to save the very officer pursuing him. That man was Dirk Willems — an Anabaptist from Asperen whose act of mercy on a frozen Dutch river has become one of the most enduring images in the history of religious conscience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJan Luyken's etching, published in the \u003cem\u003eMartyrs Mirror\u003c\/em\u003e (1685), has carried this story across the centuries. It captures the exact moment Willems reaches back toward the man who has fallen through the ice — knowing that to save him means his own recapture. He was burned at the stake later that year.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis mug bears the complete engraving as it appears in the 1685 edition, cropped to the platemark and printed across the full porcelain surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFine Porcelain — 10 oz.
