Raphael Sadeler I

Raphael Sadeler I ranks among the foremost engravers of the late Renaissance, a member of the Sadeler dynasty whose burin work carried Mannerist and religious imagery across Europe. His prints range from allegorical figures such as Dolor and Timiditas to devotional scenes like the Adoration of the Magi and Saint Luke Painting the Virgin, alongside mythological subjects. This archive gathers eleven of his sheets, almost all executed in engraving, with a single example combining engraving and etching. The impressions date from 1560 to 1599, and later printings may extend beyond the artist's lifetime.
