Michiel Vliegenthart

A pair of woodcuts from the  Bible of Jean Cousin (1525-1595) who is believed to have made the drawings for a fine series of woodcuts who is one of the most extraordinary iconographic cycles of the late Renaissance. Fluctuating between the art of the school of Fontainebleau and the popular traditions of Creuset of Montorgueuil Street, some reveal a marked Italian influence.The woodcuts are attributed to Jean Cousin whose compositions have been partly carved in wood by Nicolas Prévost and Jean Le Clerc . The oldest known edition of this famous figurative Bible dates from 1593.
Here from the 1640 edition by Guillaume Le Bé,

Both woodcuts are back to back on one side, trimmed outside the borderline.
