Boekillustratie met passievoorstelling c. 1647 - 1714

This fine drawing, titled 'Book Illustration with Passion Scene,' was created by an anonymous artist. The composition is structured by a rectangular frame with ornate embellishments, particularly at the top and bottom. At the top we see an image of the Last Supper, framed by curling tendrils of flora and fauna. The choice of line over color emphasizes form and detail. This structural clarity could suggest an engagement with broader intellectual currents, perhaps reflecting a desire to impose order and reason. The work’s visual order invites us to consider how art can function not only aesthetically but also as a carrier of cultural codes and philosophical ideas.
