Description

Engraving, 1614 circa, signed lower in the image David Vinckboins inventor; Joannes Londerseel sculpsit. And CIVisscher excudit.

Lettered in lower margin: Ejicit è misero Dominus cacodemonia muto. Protimus obsessus verba diferta sonat. Spiritibus Christus stygiis dominatur, et illos cogit ad imperium cedre fede sua. Luce. 14

The scene appears to show Christ healing the insane on the Sabbath, according Luke. 14. After a subject by David Vinckboons.

Magnificent proof, splendid contemporary hand-colouring, printed on contemporary laid paper, watermark "coat of arms with fleur-de-lis", with margins, usual trace of central vertical fold, in very good condition.

The excellent quality of the colouring significantly distinguishes and enhances these examples from those in black and white.

Jan van LONDERSEEL (Anversa circa 1570 – Rotterdam 1624/25)

Flemish engraver, etcher and print publisher. He apparently trained in Antwerp, where he may have worked in the workshop of Abraham de Bruyn, father of his brother-in-law Nicolaes de Bruyn. About 1600 he followed his brother A(ha)ssuerus van Londerseel (bapt Antwerp, 30 March 1572; d before 21 May 1649), also an engraver and print publisher, to Rotterdam. He seems to have been active there between 1610 and 1625; in 1614 he was living in Delft.
