Our take on the America, Your Gold and Silver Fill My People - Pieter Nagel

This late 16th-century engraving by Pieter Nagel is an allegorical personification of America, shown seated on a cart of gold and silver coins and holding a bow and arrow. Two dog-like creatures pull the cart, while European ships arrive on the coast behind. The Latin inscription reads 'AMERICA AVRO ET ARGENTO MEOS REPLEO' — 'America, I fill my people with gold and silver.' It is a dense, symbolic work of Northern Mannerist printmaking, best suited to collectors of early modern prints and students of colonial iconography. Compared with more purely decorative engravings of the period, its value lies in its layered political and economic commentary, though its complex imagery can be challenging without context.
