Bijbelsche geschiedenis / Nieuwe Testament 1869 - 1882

This print from 1869-1882 by Dutch artist Gerhardus Philippus Zalsman (1834-1910) is a part of a series depicting scenes from the New Testament. It features five illustrations with accompanying text in Dutch, each referencing a specific biblical event. These include Jesus calming the storm, the Canaanite woman pleading with Jesus to heal her daughter, the parable of the prodigal son, the raising of Lazarus, and Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem. This series exemplifies the popular use of visual art to communicate biblical stories, particularly during the 19th century. The small scale and detailed illustrations suggest it was intended for personal or devotional use, offering a visual aid for religious instruction.
