Codde en Cock op de smalle en brede weg, 1705 1706 - 1707

"Codde en Cock op de smalle en brede weg" (1706-1707) by Carel Allard is a detailed woodcut illustration from a book that depicts a scene from the biblical parable of the narrow and wide paths. The artwork is a visual allegory of the choices people face in life and the different consequences of those choices. In the image, two paths, one narrow and one wide, branch off into two distinct landscapes, leading viewers to interpret the message of the parable in a visual way. The artwork's inclusion of allegorical figures and intricate details makes it a valuable example of Dutch Baroque art. The illustration is part of a book and is housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
