Bulino, 1600 circa, in basso a sinistra: 'Joannes ab Achen invenetor. / Joan. Mullerus sculpsit"; in basso a destra: "H Muller [HM intrecciato] excud:". Sei righe latine, su tre colonne nel margine in basso: Cum fera tela sinus rimantur pectoris altus / / Et lacerata tua membra crucis madent / / Tum dulcis tibi .... Esemplare nel secondo stato, di quattro, secondo Filedt Kok. Da un dipinto di Hans von Aachen realizzato nel 1590 per il collegio gesuita Saint-Michel di Monaco. Magnifica prova, ricca di toni, impressa su carta vergata coeva con filigrana “scudo di Strasburgo” (simile a The New Hollstein, Muller II, p. 308), rifilata al rame o con piccoli margini, pieghe di carta visibili nella parte inferiore, minimi restauri nelle scritte in basso, per il resto in buono stato di conservazione. L’opera, secondo formule stereotipate nella consuetudine della controriforma, distingue il piano terrestre da quello celeste. In basso, in primo piano, la scena del martirio: sulla destra il gruppo degli arcieri costituisce il nucleo drammatico della scena, con un contrasto intenso fra i loro volti turbati, le loro sagome parzialmente in ombra, i muscoli tesi nello sforzo da una parte e, dall’altra, la bellezza radiosa del santo, il cui corpo, definito da un deciso plasticismo e da una massiccia volumetria, si offre docilmente al martirio, persino incurvandosi in una posizione parallela agli archi ostili. Nella parte superiore un angelo giunge in soccorso del Santo avendo nelle mani la corona d’alloro – simbolo della vittoria attraverso il martirio – e la palma simbolo del martirio e della rinascita.

Engraving, 1600 circa, arched plate, lettered in plate, lower left: 'Joannes ab Achen invenetor. / Joan. Mullerus sculpsit.'; lower right: 'H Muller [HM entwined] excud:'. Six lines Latin in three columns in margin below: Cum fera tela sinus rimantur pectoris altus / / Et lacerata tua membra crucis madent: / / Tum dulcis tibi .... Example in the second state, of four, according Filedt Kok. After a painting by Hans von Aachen in the Jesuit church of St Michaels Hofkirche. Magnificent proof, rich in tone, printed on contemporary laid paper with "Strasbourg shield" watermark (similar to The New Hollstein, Muller II, p. 308), trimmed at the copper or with small margins, paper creases visible at the bottom, minimal restorations in the bottom lettering, otherwise in good condition. Sebastian is bound to a tree with one of his arms raised over his head and tied at the wrist to a broken limb; a group of archers aim their weapons at him; a winged putti holding a palm and wreath hovers overhead.

Bulino, 1600 circa, firmata in lastra nell’immagine, in basso a destra: “Joannes Muller. fecit”, at left: “Harmannus Muller. excud. Amstelodamj”. Magnifica prova, ricca di toni, impressa su carta vergata coeva, rifilata al rame ed applicata su antico supporto del XIX secolo, tracce di usura nella parte inferiore, nel complesso in buono stato di conservazione. Questa incisione, anche se per ragioni stilistiche strettamente legata a Spranger, dev’essere stata disegnata dallo stesso Muller. Il disegno di questa stampa, firmato "JMuller fecit", è attribuito da Bartsch (III, p. 284, n. 64) a Spranger. Obheruber (cfr. Die Stilistiche Entwicklung im Werk Bartholomaeus Spranger, p. 294 n. 93), ha evidenziato l'inesattezza di quest’attribuzione. Bibliografia Bartsch, III.286.64; The New Hollstein, II, p. p.177, 64 II/IV; Filedt Kok (Print Quarterly, september 1994) pp. 250 -251; Hollstein, XIV, 10. Engraving, 1600 circa, signed below in the image, at right: “Joannes Muller. fecit”; at left “Harmannus Muller. excud. Amstelodamj”. A fine impression, printed with tone on contemporary laid paper, trimmed to the borderline and pasted on 19th Century mounting, good condition. This print, though stylistically closely related to Spranger, must have been designed by Muller himself. The drawing for this print, signed “JMuller fecit”, is attributed by Bartsch (III, p. 284, n. 64) to Spranger. Obheruber (cf. Die Stilistiche Entwicklung im Werk Bartholomaeus Spranger, p. 294 n. 93), has pointed out the inaccuracy of the attribution to Spranger.

Bulino, datato in lastra 1597. Sulla cornice ovale: ‘BARTHOLOMAEUS SPRANGER, S. CAES. M. PICTOR CELEBERRIMUS’. Nel cartiglio in basso: ‘NATURAE OMNIPARENTI / PRAESTANTISSIMI EIUS AEMULI IMAGINEM,/INVIDIA GEMENTE/D D/IOANNES AB ACH.S.ITEM/CAES. M. PICTOR / An o 1597’ Nel margine inferior, al centro ‘In perpetuam amici memoriam Joan Mullerus grato lubentique animo aeri incidebat / F.de Wit excudit’. Ritratto di Bartholomeus Spranger (1546-1611) in cornice ovale, affiancato da due putti con trombe, uno scudo, una lancia e un elmo. Il ritratto ovale è basato su un modello (probabilmente un dipinto) di Hans von Aachen. Entrambi gli artisti dedicano esplicitamente la stampa in amicizia a Spranger. Durante questo periodo Jan Muller diventò il principale incisore dei disegni di Spranger, il famoso pittore di corte di Praga, ed è intorno a questo period che ha produsse dieci incisioni, la maggior parte di un formato abbastanza grande, basati sui disegni del celebre pittore. Spranger inviava i suoi disegni ad Amsterdam e un certo numero di di prove di stampa esistenti rivelano che questi furono inviati a Praga per la correzione. Muller probabilmente non incontrò Spranger fino alla visita di quest'ultimo nei Paesi Bassi nel 1602. Si può supporre che Hans von Aachen (1552 - 1615), un altro pittore alla corte di Praga, abbia inviato il ritratto di Spranger (sia esso dipinto o disegnato) affinché Muller lo utilizzasse come modello per la sua incisione; la cornice, tuttavia, fu disegnata da Muller stesso. Il disegno tracciato da Muller per la cornice, con un disegno inziale per il ritratto attaccato all'interno, è conservato ad Amsterdam ( Rijkprentenkabinet), ed è possibile seguire con precisione la realizzazione della stampa attraverso ogni fase successiva: prima venne inciso il volto nella lastra, poi il resto della figura, dopo di che la cornice e infine la decorazione. Bellissima prova, ricca di toni, impressa su carta vergata coeva, rifilata al rame, in ottimo stato di conservazione. Engraving, dated on plate 1597.On the frame: ‘BARTHOLOMAEUS SPRANGER, S. CAES. M. PICTOR CELEBERRIMUS’ Inscribed on the bottom, on cartouche: ‘NATURAE OMNIPARENTI / PRAESTANTISSIMI EIUS AEMULI IMAGINEM,/INVIDIA GEMENTE/D D/IOANNES AB ACH.S.ITEM/CAES. M. PICTOR / An o 1597’ inscribed on the bottom: ‘In perpetuam amici memoriam Joan Mullerus grato lubentique animo aeri incidebat / F.de Wit excudit’. Bust portrait of Bartholomeus Spranger (1546-1611) in oval frame, flanked by two putti with trumpets, a shield, spear and a helmet. “The oval portrait is based on a model (probably a painting) by Hans von Aachen. Both artists explicitly dedicate the print in friendship to Spranger. During this period Jan Muller had become the chief engraver of the designs by Spranger, the famous court painter of Prague, and it was around now he produced ten engravings, most of a fairly large format, after his designs. Spranger sent his drawn designs to Amsterdam and a number of extant proof impressions reveal that these were sent to Prague for correction. Muller probably did not meet Spranger until the latter’s visit to the Netherlands in 1602. It can be assumed that Hans von Aachen (1552 – 1615), another painter at the Prague court, sent Spranger’s portrait (whether painted or drawn) for Muller to use as a model for his print; the frame, however, was designed by Muller himself. Muller’s traced design for the frame, with the initial design for the portrait engraving attached inside, has been preserved (Amsterdam, Rijkprentenkabinet), and it is possible to follow the making of the print precisely through each successive stage: first the face was engraved in the plate, then the rest of the figure, after which the frame and finally the circumscription were engraved.” F. Kok, Artists Portrayed by Their Friends: Goltzius and His Circle, in Netherlands Quarterly for the History of Art,Vol. 24, pp. 167-168. A fine example printed on contemporary laid paper, trimmed to the platemark, in good condition. Le Blanc, 69; F. Kok, Artists Portrayed by Their Friends: Goltzius and His Circle, in Netherlands Quarterly for the History of Art,Vol. 24, pp. 167-168.
