Description
Engraving, 1600 circa, inscribed and signed at lower left, in the image: Cum privil. Sum Pontific. et S. C. M/ Raphael Sadeler Fec: Mart. de vos i”.
Below the image, four Latin verses: Caesaris hic iussu reparabat Ariminum: at inter/ Has operas Christi iura, MARINE, dabas. / Inde hostem metuens fidei successit Eremo;/ Nunc summo artifici ponere templa parat”.
After a subject by Maartin de Vos. Good example, printed on contemporary laid paper, attached on a XIX century sheet, (dim. 268 x 220 mm.), light browning, occasional foxing, otherwise in good condition.
Plate n. 2 from the series Oraculum Anachotericum.
The series consistis of 28 prints of heremits, drawing by Maartin de Vos and engraved by Jan and Raphael Sadeler. The series was published in Venice between 1575 – 1600. The plate following the title-page of the book was devoted to a dedication by the brothers to Clement VIII.
It’s very likely that Oraculum Anachoreticum was among those prints that Jan took to Rome in the summer of 1600 to show to Pope Clemente VIII.
The plate shows St Marinus with a hammer and chisel working on a column and constructing a church; at right is a cave with his frugal food and belongings.
On the background, a landscape with the city of Rimini, Monte Titano and San Marino.

The SADELER: Flemish family of artists, active throughout Europe. For three generations this family of engravers, publishers and print-sellers played a dominant role in European graphic art, producing work of great variety and high quality. They were descended from a line of steel-chisellers from Aalst . Jan de Saeyelleer (Sadeleer) had three sons, Jan Sadeler I, Aegidius Sadeler I and Raphael Sadeler I, the first generation of engravers, publishers and print-sellers. The religious and political uncertainties of the time forced them to emigrate, and they worked in Cologne, Frankfurt am Main, Munich, Venice and Prague. The next generation followed in their footsteps, of whom Aegidius Sadeler II, who worked for Rudolf II and his successors, was the most notable. Justus Sadeler, the son of Jan Sadeler I, and the three sons of Raphael Sadeler I—Jan Sadeler II, Raphael Sadeler II and Filips Sadeler—were lesser artists but continued the family tradition. The third generation was represented by Tobias Sadeler (fl Vienna, 1670–75), son of Aegidius Sadeler II; he executed engravings for topographical books. RAPHAEL SADELER I: Painter and engraver, brother of Jan Sadeler I. He moved to Cologne c. 1579 with his brother Jan I’s family; there he became his brother’s pupil and collaborated with him for the rest of his life; he also accompanied him to Munich and Italy. Like Jan I, Raphael I returned to Antwerp between 1582 and 1586. In 1582 Raphael was admitted to the Antwerp Guild of St Luke. The brothers’ collaboration included engraving and printing various series, of which the Hermits are the most important. During the Antwerp years Raphael I made engravings after such artists as Marten de Vos, Frans Pourbus, Quinten Metsys, Bartholomäus Spranger, Paul Bril and Hendrick Goltzius. From c. 1591–3 Raphael I was in Munich, where he regularly engraved after works by Joos van Winghe, Hans von Aachen and Peter Candid. Like Jan I, he also worked after Italian masters (e.g. Bassano and Carracci). It is possible that he went to Prague in 1593, the year he obtained a licence from Emperor Rudolf II.
