This title page, engraved by Pieter van den Berge in 1712, is a beautiful example of Dutch Baroque art. It depicts a woman seated at a desk with a book in front of her, while other figures, including an angel and a figure with an anchor, appear in a heavenly scene above. The title of the book, "Opwekkelyke Zeede-Zangen" (Stimulating Moral Songs) is prominently displayed, indicating the importance of the book's message. The engraving is a testament to the artistry of Pieter van den Berge, who used fine detail and evocative imagery to create a striking and engaging artwork. This piece would have been a popular addition to any Baroque era library or home.
