AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
State: Excellent inking, good preservation with slight traces of foxing and browning. The paper shows a slight and natural browning due to time, all as per photo;
Support: Laid paper with partial watermark;
Shipping: INSURED shipment via Bartolini/DPD courier. To use the insurance coverage, any damage to the piece must be contested and reported to the courier at the time of delivery. Otherwise, it will not be possible to initiate the insurance reimbursement procedure.
Provenance: From a private collection;
The engraving is one of these famous period derivations, dated 1571 (only 4 years after Cort's original) and executed masterfully in Antwerp by the Flemish engraver Johannes Wierix (who signed with the monogram IHW visible on the cartouche at the bottom). Wierix has reworked Cort's composition by modifying the landscape background and inserting the explicit reference to the Gospel of Mark at the top.
Johannes Wierix (Antwerp, c. 1549 – Brussels, c. 1615) was one of the most extraordinary and prolific Flemish engravers and miniaturists of the Renaissance, renowned across Europe for his astonishing technical precision and virtuoso execution.
