Titelpagina voor: J.P. Schabaelje, Den Grooten Emblemata Sacra, 1654 1654

This title page, created by Jan Philipsz Schabaelje in 1654, is the introduction to his book "Den Grooten Emblemata Sacra". This Dutch-language book contains illustrations and text that relate to the Bible. The title page, printed in Amsterdam, includes Schabaelje's name prominently displayed at the bottom along with a heraldic crest. The title translates to "Great Sacred Emblems, Concerning More Than Four Hundred Biblical Figures, As of the Old As of the New Testaments". The title page is a great example of Dutch printmaking from the 17th century and illustrates how the arts can be used to understand religious text.
