Comenius en leerlingen 1658

This 1658 engraving, “Comenius en leerlingen,” by an anonymous artist, depicts the famed educator John Amos Comenius. In this image, Comenius sits in a chair with two students standing in front of him, likely representing his work as a teacher. The title card references his work, “Portaes, er saecken,” and his book on teaching pedagogy, “Vestibulum Rerum,” which is featured prominently in the engraving. This work is a testament to Comenius’s contributions to education and is housed in the Rijksmuseum.
