Wagenlied, pagina 1 1641

This is "Wagenlied, pagina 1," a 1641 engraving by Crispijn van de Passe (II). It is a single page from a larger work, featuring a beautifully decorated initial "I" and music notation for a song called "Vrolick Wagen-liedt." This artwork is a prime example of the detailed and intricate engravings of the Dutch Golden Age. It showcases the decorative style popular in the 17th century, where music and art combined to create works of beauty and artistry. The engraving's small size and detailed lines speak to the skill and precision of van de Passe's craft.
