Raphael Sadeler II
Raphael Sadeler II belongs to the Sadeler family of engravers whose prints carried late Renaissance and early Baroque imagery across Europe, and his own work is rooted in the reproductive engraving tradition, turning landscapes and religious subjects into finely cut plates. Landscape and devotional scenes dominate his output, with sacred compositions often built around visionary encounters between saints and the divine. This archive holds a small group of his engravings, both of them executed in the burin technique and dated to the early seventeenth century, including impressions up to 1607. Among the subjects are a wooded landscape and a vision of Saint Dominic set beneath God the Father and Christ, with the Virgin on the crescent moon and Francis of Assisi and Dominic in the foreground.
