Evangelicae historiae imagines is a 1593 Antwerp book of Gospel scenes printed by the Society of Jesus, designed by Maarten de Vos and engraved by Adriaen and Jan Collaert after a Bernardino Passeri text, arranged in the order of Christ's life for Catholic readers. The engravings show crowded architectural settings with arcades, stepped buildings and clustered robed figures, with precise hatched shading and halos marking Christ, offering a designer examples of dense, orderly Counter-Reformation narrative composition.
