AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Beautiful impression on laid paper pasted onto old, deckle-edged paper from a vintage collection, trimmed inside the border. From the series of 29 engravings "Solitudo sive Vitae Patrum Ercolarum," which depicts the lives of the first hermits and desert fathers. The engraver's signature is present in the lower left.
The series to which this print belongs was designed by Maarten de Vos, a Antwerp-born designer famous for his depictions of saints and hermits in scenes of daily life. In this engraving the depiction of the hermit is fully integrated into the natural landscape, intended to portray nature as a space of spiritual challenge and divine revelation.
