This 18th-century broadside, created by Dutch artist Jacobus Conynenberg, depicts the life and suffering of Jesus Christ in a series of 30 small scenes. Each scene is accompanied by a short inscription in Dutch that explains the event. The artwork, titled "Afbeelding van de Geboorte / Leven / Lijden en Sterven / van de Ssaligmaecker der weereld" (Image of the Birth / Life / Suffering and Death / of the Savior of the World) is a powerful example of religious iconography. This work is notable for its use of woodcut, which creates a distinct and stylized visual effect. The broadside, printed by Conynenberg in 1711-1723, was likely intended for popular religious devotion and serves as a visual chronicle of the Passion of Christ.
