Titelpagina voor: J. Tirinus, Commentarius in Vetus et Novum Testamentum, Antwerpen, 1632 1632

This title page for a 1632 book of biblical commentaries by Jacobus Tirinus was designed by Flemish engraver Cornelis Galle I. The composition is highly ornate, with figures arranged in a layered pyramid culminating in a central depiction of the Holy Trinity. The title is inscribed on an oval shield at the center, flanked by Old Testament figures and a variety of symbolic animals, such as lions and an eagle. The engraving’s intricate detail and decorative flourishes were typical of Baroque art.
