Bybelsche figuuren van het Oude Testament 1725 - 1780

Johannes (II) Kannewet's "Bybelsche figuuren van het Oude Testament," a woodcut print dating back to 1725-1780, depicts twelve scenes from the Old Testament, with a brief explanation beneath each frame. The scenes, ranging from biblical narratives to historical figures and events, were likely meant for teaching and illustrating the stories in the Bible. The print, preserved in the Rijksmuseum, serves as a testament to the use of visual art for education and spiritual instruction during the 18th century.
