This woodcut print, created between 1725 and 1780 by Johannes (II) Kannewet, depicts a series of scenes from the Book of Revelation. The artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a fine example of 18th-century Dutch devotional art, showcasing the use of woodcut printing for religious imagery. The print features 24 individual scenes, each framed within a separate panel, meticulously arranged in a grid format, creating a visually compelling and informative narrative about the final days and the second coming of Christ. The print is a testament to the enduring power of religious themes in art.
