Engraving of the Evangelical Alliance Conference in Amsterdam, Published in 1867

About the Item

Engraving of the Evangelical Alliance Conference in Amsterdam, 19th Century This antique engraving, meticulously rendered in the 19th century, depicts a historic moment: the Conference of the Evangelical Alliance in Amsterdam. The striking scene unfolds in a grand hall, with hundreds of attendees engaged in serious discussion and spiritual reflection. The hall itself, with its majestic vaulted ceiling, elaborate woodwork, statues, and large circular windows, offers a glimpse into the rich architectural style of the period. This print was published as part of a larger visual record of significant European religious gatherings and intellectual exchanges. Such engravings were highly valued for their accuracy and artistic flair, serving both as keepsakes and as a means of sharing the impact of these influential events beyond those in attendance. The Evangelical Alliance, formed in the mid-19th century, sought to unite Christians across denominations and national borders, focusing on shared faith and moral action. The engraving captures this ethos, with its depiction of a speaker at the central lectern and the attentive audience—an image of the era's commitment to dialogue, cooperation, and spiritual progress. The Evangelical Alliance, an international Christian cooperative movement, was founded in 1846 in London and held periodic international conferences in the following decades. The Amsterdam conference of 1867 was one of the most prominent gatherings in its early history, reflecting the movement's global reach and its emphasis on cooperation among Protestant The print itself is a fine example of period craftsmanship, with precise linework and careful attention to light and shadow, which lends depth and life to the scene. The composition not only preserves a moment in religious and cultural history but also speaks to the enduring importance of community and exchange in shaping society. Condition Report: The engraving is in very good condition, showing clear detail with only minimal foxing or age-related toning at the margins. The paper is well-preserved, maintaining the vivid clarity of the original engraving. Framing Tips: A classic black or dark wooden frame will highlight the stately elegance of this piece, while a white or cream mat will provide a clean, sophisticated border to showcase the richness of the engraved lines.

Located in Pembroke, MA
A large, nicely-framed Italian hand-colored engraving in tones of terracotta and black (17th century, with more recent matte and frame) by Pietro Bartoli. The engraving depicts the mosaic ceiling in the church of Santa Costanza outside of Rome, which was studied by the ecclesiatical archaeologist Giovanni Ciampini. The mosaic ceiling no longer exists, but is known through various depictions of the artwork, such as this engraving. The images include Christian imagery including the sacrifice of Cain and Abel and possibly Noah building the ark. The upper row of mosaics is believed to represent scenes from the New Testament, with caryatids dividing the ceiling into twelve segments. The engraving is captioned in Latin: "Opus Musiuum olim in tholo Templi, quod vulgo creditur Bacchi, nunc Sancte Constantie extra Portam Piam cariatides, et Telamones in duodecium dividant Segmenta, ubi plura autumnales ferias, et piscationis Genium demostrant, iuxta interpretionem Ciampini qui mediatatem exhibet Veterum monum." In the 17th century, the church of Santa Costanza was known as the "Temple of Bacchus," and was the site of rowdy Bacchic festivals until Pope Clement XI banned the rites in 1720. Pietro Santo...
