Geestelijke boomgaard, ca. 1650 1630 - 1650

This anonymous 17th-century print, *Geestelijke boomgaard,* depicts a symbolic garden divided into sections that illustrate the Passion of Christ. The garden is surrounded by a wicker fence and populated by figures, including angels, soldiers, and Jesus himself. The print is a testament to the visual culture of the Dutch Golden Age, where religious themes were often conveyed through intricate allegorical compositions, combining text and imagery. This print is a fascinating example of the ways in which artists used visual language to explore complex theological ideas.
