Register van afbeeldingen uit het Oude Testament 1791

This 1791 print by Dutch artist Johannes de (II) Groot, titled "Register van afbeeldingen uit het Oude Testament", is a register of plates depicting scenes from the Old Testament. Held in the Rijksmuseum, this work displays a list of biblical stories in both Dutch and French, intended to be a guide to the accompanying set of plates. The register exemplifies a popular method of studying biblical narratives during the Enlightenment, combining text and illustration. The printed page itself serves as a valuable document of the history of art and religion during the late 18th century.
