Simon Novellanus
Simon Novellanus is represented here by two etchings from 1595, both in the first state of two, depicting river landscapes drawn from classical myth—Daedalus and Icarus, and Mercury carrying off Psyche. These sheets belong to the late sixteenth-century print culture of landscape etching, in which mythological episodes are set within wide, panoramic river views. The collection's holdings offer a small but coherent glimpse of his work in this genre, with impressions dating to 1595.
