Consideraçoins sobre os quatro novissimos
A Portuguese devotional book of 1820, printed in Portugal and probably intended for lay readers, treating the four last things of death, judgment, hell and heaven. The single picture is an etched emblem on a printed page facing a verse caption about seeing God's eternal vision and avoiding offence. The engraving shows a dense tangle of writhing, flame-licked figures beneath a cloud-bank with a radiant vision above, a stark model for dramatic crowd composition and fire-lit tonal contrast.
