Levendigen af-beeldzels van verscheyde bybelsche historien 1725 - 1780

This 18th-century woodcut print by Johannes (II) Kannewet is a series of 20 small illustrations depicting scenes from the Bible. The series is part of a larger collection of woodcuts meant for a Dutch audience, offering visual narratives for specific Biblical stories. The small size and detailed illustrations demonstrate a common 18th-century technique of mass-producing prints for educational purposes, often used in devotional books or for private collections. The artist's signature and inscription, "Tot Amsterdam," add to the historical context of the print, revealing it was likely produced for sale in Amsterdam. The artwork's title, "Levendigen Af-beeldzels van verscheyde Bybelsche Historien," directly translates to "Living Pictures of Various Biblical Histories," further emphasizing the educational and didactic nature of the work.
