Paradisus animae Christianae : lectissimis omnigenae pietatis delitiis amoenus
A Latin devotional manual, the Paradisus animae Christianae, published in Cologne in 1670 by Balthasar von Egmondt and associates, with plates by Romeyn de Hooghe for Catholic readers. The four full-page engravings are etched in a dense, dramatic Baroque manner, with heavenly clouds above and kneeling crowds or the crucifixion below, offering a designer models for layered compositions that split sacred and earthly scenes.
