AntonI Sucquet e Societate Iesu Via vitae aeternae
A Latin Jesuit devotional manual by Antoine Sucquet, printed at Antwerp in 1620 by Martin Nutius with engravings by Boëce van Bolswert, written for lay Catholic readers on the Christian path to eternal life. Its plates are dense engravings of heaven, hell, and judgment scenes, with clouds, rays of light, crowds, and labelled reference letters, giving designers a model for cosmic, allegorical compositions built from layered registers and dramatic light.
