Tafreelen uit het leven der Apostelen. - Verdere uitbreiding van het Christendom 1850 - 1881

This print, created by Dirk Noothoven van Goor between 1850 and 1881, depicts scenes from the life of the Apostles. Part of a series called “Tafreelen uit het leven der Apostelen” (Scenes from the Life of the Apostles), this print is a visual representation of the spread of Christianity and emphasizes key moments like Peter's imprisonment and his release by an angel, and John the Baptist's death. The print, printed for the magazine “Prenten-Magazijn voor de Jeugd”, likely aimed to educate young readers about biblical history with detailed illustrations and descriptive captions. It is a prime example of 19th-century printmaking and religious art.
