Ars moriendi, German
This is a late fifteenth-century German block book, the Ars moriendi, a devotional manual on dying well, probably made for lay readers and clergy. Its hand-coloured woodcuts show a dying man tended at his bedside while devils and angels contend for his soul, with rigid stylised figures in bold red, green and yellow, a clear model for illustrating moral narrative as a sequence of scenes.
