About the Item
Set of three antique prints depicting:
1) Leonilla turns into an orange tree.

3) Tirsenia turns into a lemon tree.
These prints originate from 'Hesperides, sive, De malorvm avreorvm cvltura et vsv libri quatuor' by Giovanni Battista Ferrari, published in 1646. The prints are an illustration for the introduction by G.B. Ferraris book on citrus fruits. The author tries to explain the origin of the different lemon varieties through self-invented mythological stories.

Biblical Engravings – Vision of Candlesticks, Apostle Jude
Judgment of Angels
Located in Langweer, NL
Set of 3 Biblical Engravings – Vision of Candlesticks, Apostle Jude & Judgment of Angels (1735)
This dramatic and theologically rich set of three antique engravings, published in 1735, illustrates apocalyptic and apostolic themes from the Book of Revelation and the Epistle of St. Jude. Executed in detailed copper engraving, each scene presents spiritual visions, divine authority, and prophetic symbolism with powerful visual intensity. Ideal for collectors of esoteric religious art or as a striking triptych display.
The first engraving, from Revelation Chapter I, is titled “The Vision of the Seven Golden Candlesticks.” It shows the Apostle John falling to the ground in awe as he beholds Christ standing among seven candlesticks, with stars in his hand and a sword issuing from his mouth. Christ appears elevated on clouds, radiant and commanding, symbolising divine authority over the churches. The candlesticks represent the seven churches of Asia, and the vision initiates John's apocalyptic revelation. The imagery is intense and mystical, filled with light, cloud, and motion.
The second engraving, from the Epistle of Jude, illustrates “The Apostate Angels reserved as Prisoners in Chains of Darkness to the Judgment of the Great Day.” An angel descends from the heavens bearing chains, binding demonic figures who writhe in terror as beams of divine light strike them. The Apostle Jude, seated below with a scroll and astonished gaze, points to the celestial vision. The composition is dramatic, balancing divine justice with earthly witness, and filled with cloud formations, angelic figures, and dynamic motion. It vividly conveys the judgment and order of the unseen spiritual realm.
The third engraving shows “St. Jude the Apostle” standing upon a stone pedestal, carrying a large wooden cross...
