Den wech des eeuwich levens
A Dutch-language Catholic devotional book, Den wech des eeuwich levens, printed in Antwerp in 1649 by Hendrick Aertssens and written by Antoine Sucquet with Gerardus Zoes, for lay readers meditating on death, judgement, hell and heaven. Its engravings, attributed to Boëce van Bolswert, are dense black-and-white line scenes with crowded figures, clouds, flames and radiating light, offering a designer models of early modern visionary composition, layered registers of heaven above and damnation below, and stark contrast in engraved line.
