Allegorie op het Oude en Nieuwe Testament 1651 - 1679

Abraham de Blois's "Allegorie op het Oude en Nieuwe Testament" is a 17th-century engraving that symbolizes the Old and New Testament with allegorical figures. Created between 1651 and 1679, it features a central female figure representing the Bible, holding a scepter and surrounded by symbols of the faith. The engraving also depicts figures associated with the Old and New Testament, surrounded by decorative elements. The text in the central frame emphasizes the artistic representation of the sacred stories. This work, now at the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the artistic and religious fervor of the Dutch Golden Age.
