Contemplatio totivs vitae et passionis Domini Nostri Iesv Christi
A 1557 Venetian devotional book of the life and Passion of Christ, reproducing woodcut series by Albrecht Dürer, the Life of the Virgin and the Kleine Passion, printed for pious readers. The pictures are fine black-and-white woodcuts with dense parallel hatching, stone architecture, and crowded narrative groups, offering a designer models of compact storytelling and engraved line texture for religious or historical themes.
