Openbaringen Iesu nasijn Verrysenisse 1646

"Openbaringen IESU nasijn VERRYSENISSE" is a 1646 illuminated initial by Jan Philipsz Schabaelje. This small artwork is typical of Dutch illuminated manuscripts from the 17th century. The richly ornamented "D" is characteristic of the period and the style, with delicate floral flourishes and gold accents. This manuscript page was likely intended to mark the start of a chapter of the New Testament, highlighting the importance of this text. The Rijksmuseum houses this manuscript page, a testament to Dutch art and history.
