Monogrammist PVO

Monogrammist PVO is known through a single engraved sheet in this archive, dated by the Met to 1580. The print belongs to the late sixteenth-century engraving tradition and takes its subject from the Old Testament story of Joseph, depicting the discovery of his cup in Benjamin's sack of grain. This collection holds one work by the artist, executed in engraving and dated to that single year, with any surviving impressions falling within the same period.
