17th century German school Engraving Die Grohse Fische Fressen dei Kleinen (Big Fish Eat Little Fish) Numbered plate 18 Engraving size: 5 x 7 cm Paper dimensions: 7.4 x 9.5 cm Note: This 17thᵉ century German engraving, entitled Die Grohse Fische Fressen die Kleinen (Big fish eat the little ones), vividly illustrates the law of the strongest, a moralistic theme common in the Baroque period. The scene, in which large fish devour smaller ones under a distant sky where a ship appears, denounces the relationships of domination and the inequalities of human society through an animal metaphor.
