"Petrus, Paulus en de Katholieke Kerk" is a title page from the 1610 publication of *Annales Ecclesiastici* by the Italian cardinal Cesare Baronio. The artwork, by an anonymous artist, features the apostles Peter and Paul flanking a title panel. Below, an image of the Virgin Mary appears holding a cross and a chain, perhaps symbolizing the strength of the Catholic Church and the faith. The print, held at the Rijksmuseum, is a fine example of the title page's role in early modern book illustration.
