Titelblad Nieuwe Testament Possibly 1530

This title page by Dutch artist Jan Swart van Groningen, possibly from 1530, is a fine example of the use of woodcut in book illustration. It features a variety of scenes, including a scribe working at a desk, a biblical passage, and a figure holding a scroll. The decorative border with putti and a coat of arms adds further artistic appeal to the composition. This print, now in the Rijksmuseum, is a great example of the artistry of the early printing press.
