Marten De Vos (1532-1603) - The sermon on the mount

Beautiful engraving from Collaert's Life of Christ COLLAERT, Adriaen Plate 5: The sermon on the mount. Christ sits on a mound and raises His arm and preaches to a crowd Antwerp: Sadeler / Sadler, C1585. A lovely engraving from the series Vita Christi / The Life of Christ after Maarten de Vos. This is plate 5. Good, clean, strong engraving, would appear to be an early impression from the plate. Lettered below left "M. de Vos inven / Adria. Collaert sculp" and at right "Sadler excu". In the margin two lines of Latin "Enthea.... montis" and "Matth. 7.". Numbered upper centre "V." Held in an archival pouch and under a large passepartout (50cm x 40cm), with just a touch of marking to it. From a series of twelve plates engraved by Adriaen Collaert (1560-1618) and Raphael Sadeler (New Hollstein 238-247). The BM cites New Hollstein (The Collaert Dynasty) 241 and Hollstein (de Vos) 330 After Maarten de Vos (Flemish, 1532–1603). This conforms exactly with the British Museum ref: 1910,0208.22 and we have taken the dating from there.
