Beschrijving

Plate nr. 10 from the serie SYLVAE SACRAE MONUMENTA … ANACHORETAUM published by Johannes I and Raphael I Sadeler in 1594. This plate is in reverse and slighly wider than the original. Possibly by Charles van Boeckel (fl. 1597-1617) [Hollstein de Vos, 1004a], or by Marcus Christoph Sadeler (1614-1650), Giacomo Piccini (ca. 1617- ca.1669) and Giovanni Merlo (17th cent.) from the first half of the seventeenth century [Hollstein de Vos, 1004f]. Besides the latin verses beneath the picture no other signatures are to be found on the plate. Lettered under the picture: ‘[M]ARTIVS Aruvernae pater & contemptor honoris / Permutat sacram sponte ligone pedum. / Atass sibi caueam fodit in qua Vivere possit / Immo mori cui mors nil nisi vita fuit’; plate is numbered ’10’.
