Abraham van der Putte's "Schriftuurlijke figuren / uyt het begin tot het eynde van de handelingen der apostelen" (1748-1761) is a detailed, hand-colored woodcut depicting scenes from the book of Acts. The work is divided into 16 individual panels, each representing a different event in the apostle's journey. This intricate and visually rich depiction of biblical narratives highlights the popularity of religious imagery in 18th-century Dutch art and offers insight into the importance of scripture for contemporary audiences. The artwork is currently on display at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
