This woodcut by Urs Graf, titled "Illustration from Postilla by Parisienses Guillermus," depicts a scene from the Bible. The scene likely takes place during the Sermon on the Mount, as depicted in the Gospel of Matthew, where Jesus Christ delivers a discourse on the nature of faith and charity, urging his followers to seek a higher purpose beyond wealth and power. The woodcut is a small and detailed illustration, showcasing the intricacy of the artistic detail and the importance of scripture during the 16th century.
