- Notes
- Engraved prints with textiles cut and attached, known as Spickelbilder (‘embroidered prints’) in Germany, after Maerten de Vos depicting the Easter Passion (Vita, passio et resurrectio Jesu Christi). The embellished prints show: Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane, Last Supper (engraved by Weigel), Kiss of Judas and Arrest of Christ, Christ before Pilate, Flagellation of Christ, Nailing on the Cross (engraved by Bussemacher), and Resurrection. Dressed prints became popular in the late 17th century when convents saw them as an additional source of income; the careful cutting out of prints and decorating them with textiles had become a household pastime for women by the early 18th century. All prints with three-line (once one-line) German Bible text at foot.
