Title Page for a Bible 

This elaborate drawing by Augustin Braun, a German artist working in the early 17th century, is a title page for a Bible. The composition is a complex arrangement of architectural elements and figures, depicting a scene of divine authority and inspiration. At the top, a celestial sphere with a haloed figure is surrounded by angels, symbolizing God's presence. Below, a central figure of Jesus holds a scroll, flanked by St. Peter with a key and Moses holding the tablets of the law. A lower section shows an architectural perspective with a group of men studying scripture, emphasizing the importance of biblical scholarship. The detailed and intricate style is characteristic of Braun's work and reflects the artistic trends of the German Renaissance.
