Jan SAENREDAM (Zaandam 1565 - Assendelft 1607) "Scipio wounded in battle" Original engraving in burin from a drawing by Hendrick Goltzius made during his stay in Rome in 1592 and inspired by a frieze of Polidoro da Caravaggio, signed and dated in plate in lower right “J. Sanredam A. 1593 ". Beautiful specimen printed on a portion of thin laid paper bearing the “Giglio in arme coronata” watermark similar to Briquet 7027, typical of Northern European paper production of the late 16th century, trimmed just outside the framing line without leaks, with various thinning at the corners and traces of old gluing visible mainly on the reverse but overall in good general condition. Bibliography: Bartsch “Le Peintre-Graveur” Vienna 1803-1821 vol.3 pag.230 n ° 31. Measurements in mm: 253 x 349
