Waldenzen met brandende braamstruik en lelie 1732

This 1732 engraving, created by an anonymous artist, is a title page for "Historie der Christenen, die men in't gemeen Waldensen noemt," a history of the Waldensian people. It depicts two men holding a banner proclaiming the book's title, with a coat of arms featuring a burning brambles and a lily at the center. This image, likely intended for a Protestant audience, presents the Waldensians as a persecuted yet resilient group, emphasizing their enduring faith. The visual language of this work is typical of 18th century printmaking, using simple linework to convey the narrative. The piece can be found in the Rijksmuseum.
