Smalle weg naar de hemel / Steniging van Stefanus / Christus wijst de weg naar het hemels Jeruzalem / Belegering van het hart before 1767

This 18th-century etching by Cornelis van Noorde depicts four scenes from the Bible. The top left depicts a group of three individuals on a hill with a city in the distance. The top right depicts a scene of stoning, possibly representing the stoning of Stephen. The bottom left shows a group walking on a narrow path toward a city in the distance and the bottom right shows a scene of a siege. Van Noorde's intricate linework creates a dramatic effect that adds to the emotional intensity of the narrative. These etchings would have been popular with collectors and religious audiences who sought to understand and visualize the Biblical narrative.
