Joanni Guilielmi Baurn Iconographia: Begreifft in sich Die gantze Passion und Aufferstehung Christi: Darbey ein Anhang Sinn- und Lehrreicher Emblema mit Figura vorgebildet
An illustrated devotional book, the Iconographia by Johann Wilhelm Baur with plates after Melchior Küsel, published in 1671 in Germany for Protestant readers, covering the Passion and Resurrection of Christ with emblematic material. Its plates are engravings with German verse captions beneath each scene, showing crowds, soldiers, a burning city, a tree-lined hillside and figures in classical architecture. A designer might take from them the dense crowd compositions, dramatic smoke and fire skies, and the way text blocks sit under each image.
