Hoogmoed en christelijke nederigheid / Man belaagd door de Wereld / Brede en de smalle weg / Laatste Oordeel before 1767

This 18th-century etching by Cornelis van Noorde depicts four scenes from the Bible: "Hoogmoed en christelijke nederigheid / Man belaagd door de Wereld / Brede en de smalle weg / Laatste Oordeel" (Pride and Christian Humility / Man Assailed by the World / The Broad and Narrow Way / Last Judgement). The four scenes illustrate the moral choices that face humanity, with contrasting paths leading to either salvation or damnation. Van Noorde's intricate linework captures the drama of these biblical tales, showcasing the artist's skill in visual storytelling. The etching, held in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the religious and moral anxieties of the time.
