Description

“De Gelegentheyt van t’Paradys…”, a map of the Holy Land or the Earthly Paradise – a striking hand-coloured print from Dutch Bible, engraved by Daniel Stoopendaal and published in Amsterdam in 1738 by Hendrick Jacob, Pieter Keur and Pieter Rotterdam.
A highly decorative map from antique Dutch State Bible covering an area between the Mediterranean Sea and the Persian Gulf, and embellished by vignettes of scenes from Genesis. The path of Jacob from Canaan to Babylon is shown in double lines.  The Babylon Tower is standing in the city of Babel. On the left, Johan is in the whale, next a sailing ship near Cyprus. Bottom centre vignette depicts scene with Noah’s Ark at the beginning of the Great Flood. Other vignettes show scenes from the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve in Paradise.
Daniel Stoopendaal (1672 – 1726) was a Dutch engraver, same as his father Bastiaan Stoopendaal before him. He was active in Amsterdam between 1685 and 1713 and made engravings of architecture and maps, including maps for the Bible: “Biblia, dat is De gantsche H. Schrifture, vervattende alle de canonijcke boecken des Ouden en des Nieuwen Testaments”, published by  Hendrick Jacob and Pieter Keur and Pieter Rotterdam.
This poster is a high quality “giclee” reproduction of a restored antique original, custom-printed on Standard Single-weight Matt Coated art paper 140gsm or  Heavyweight Matt Coated art paper 230gsm (more of a thin card density), or superb Epson Matt Canvas 320gsm, according to your choice. We use the latest UltraChromeHDX pigment inks which guarantee 60 years of colour  permanence (up to 200 years fade-proof for colour prints).  This poster is suitable for mounting and framing, as well as direct display on a wall.
IMPORTANT: If you are going to frame this print we recommend art paper 230gsm or canvas 320gsm. The 140gsm art paper option makes sense if you wish to DIY-frame or to tack the poster to a wall without framing, due to it being lighter and more flexible. All three options are giclee prints of the same high quality.
