La maniere de se bien preparer a la mort par des considerations sur la cene, la passion, & la mort de Jesus-Christ : avec de trés-belles estampes emblematiques
A devotional book printed in Antwerp in 1700 by George Gallet, with text attributed to Mr. de Chertablon and engravings by Romeyn de Hooghe, prepared for readers seeking to die well through meditation on Christ's Supper, Passion and death. The engravings are dense baroque scenes of deathbed vigils, with angels, clouds and framed emblematic pictures hanging above the bed, rendered in fine etched lines with heavy shadow, offering a designer models for crowded allegorical compositions, layered inset vignettes and dramatic lighting.
