Titelblad met o.a. de doop van Christus en een visioen van Johannes de Evangelist 1500 - 1517

This woodcut, titled "Titelblad met o.a. de doop van Christus en een visioen van Johannes de Evangelist" ("Title page with, among other things, the baptism of Christ and a vision of John the Evangelist") was created by Hans Springinklee between 1500 and 1517. The artwork features multiple scenes, including the baptism of Christ, a vision of John the Evangelist, and a skeleton holding a scythe, a traditional representation of Death. The scenes are framed in a page layout reminiscent of a printed book. Springinklee, a German artist known for his woodcuts, used precise lines and detail in his work, showcasing the influence of the Northern Renaissance. The work's composition and subject matter reveal the artist's interest in religious themes and the complex relationship between life and death. This artwork is a significant example of the artistic production of early sixteenth-century Northern Europe and is now housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
