The Illustrated Ages of the World


Beautiful text images via the always beautiful BiblOdyssey.

Pictured above:

An image from Francisco de Holanda De Aetatibus Mundi Imagines. Written over thirty years - from 1543 to 1573 - Holanda sketched and painted designs intended to portray the history of the world according to the bible.
