Abstract
A xilogravura “O caminho largo e o caminho estreito”, de Charlotte Reihlen, criado em 1862, é The xylography "The Broad and narrow Way" by Charlotte Reihlen, created in 1862, is considered one of the icons of visual evangelical culture that has become a worldwide phenomenon. This article presents the religious language of xilography as a reprint of two engravings by the artist of the Catholic Reformation Hieronymus Wierix (1553-1619), known by the same name in Dutch (De smalle en de brede Weg, 1600 and 1619) and also suggests influences of the work "The new Jerusalem", originally from Switzerland, with high diffusion in France and Germany. While the commentaries on Wierix's dependence represent more adjustments of previous research, the text advances on the influence of the other work and on the detailing of common themes in the works of Wierix and Switzerland but omitted in Reihlen. Finally, Reihlen's xilography appears as a Lutheran pietist work that articulates a religious language at the same time in proximity as in distinction of pictorial languages from the counterreformation and the Reformed world.
