Titelblad van een serie over de passie, dood en wederopstanding van Christus 1584 - 1587

This title page by Jan (II) Collaert, dating from 1584-1587, is a striking example of Renaissance printmaking. The design is framed by a classical architectural structure adorned with cherubs and angels, highlighting the religious themes of the work. The central text proclaims the Passion, Death, and Resurrection of Christ, drawing the viewer's focus to the central subject. Collaert's meticulous detail in the engraving is evident in the intricate ornamentation and the expressive figures, creating a visually engaging and emotionally resonant image. The dedication at the bottom to Cardinal Alessandro de' Medici reveals the intended audience for this work – the elite patrons of the day who valued artistry and religious themes.
