Bijbelsche kinderprenten 1869 - 1908

"Bijbelsche Kinderprenten" is a series of religious illustrations created by Héliodore Joseph Pisan between 1869 and 1908. This particular print depicts four scenes from the Bible: Jesus calming the storm, Jesus raising Jairus' daughter, Jesus and his disciples walking through the field, and Jesus walking on the water. The prints were likely intended for a young audience as they use simple, bold lines and clear narratives. The artist uses a woodcut style, which gives the prints a traditional and timeless quality. Each scene is accompanied by a short Dutch caption explaining the biblical event. This collection demonstrates the enduring power of religious imagery and its impact on art and popular culture.
