An angel descends from above to place a crown upon her head, a motif common in devotional imagery of the period. The composition balances the central figures against a background featuring a distant townscape and rolling terrain. Wierix employs precise, controlled lines to define the folds of the Virgin's garments and the texture of her long, flowing hair. The radiating light behind the figures provides a sense of spiritual presence, while the foreground includes a tablet bearing the date 1520 and the artist's monogram.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe work demonstrates the technical proficiency associated with the Wierix family, who were prolific printmakers in Antwerp. Their output was instrumental in the dissemination of religious iconography across Europe. The engraving style relies on cross-hatching to create depth and shadow, a technique that allows for subtle gradations of tone despite the monochromatic medium. The Christ Child is shown in a naturalistic pose, held securely by his mother, while the angel is captured in a dynamic, hovering posture. This print reflects the aesthetic values of the Northern Renaissance, where attention to detail and clarity of form were prioritised. The inclusion of the date and signature on the stone tablet in the lower left corner is a characteristic feature of the era, grounding the scene in a specific moment of production. Collectors of early modern prints will recognise the clean, sharp lines that define the work, typical of the high-quality copperplate engravings produced in the Low Countries during the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/the-archangel-michael-piercing-the-dragon-martin-schongauer\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Archangel Michael Piercing the Dragon - Martin Schongauer — Martin Schongauer\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/ouderdom-onder-invloed-van-jupiter-gerard-de-jode\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eOuderdom onder invloed van Jupiter - Gerard de Jode — Gerard de Jode\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hieronymus Wierix","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58472400683343,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58472400748879,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58472400847183,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58472400879951,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58472400945487,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Virgin-Crowned-by-One-Angel_Poster_CompositorV1_1786291928405.jpg?v=1786668831"},{"product_id":"jonah-cast-into-the-sea-hieronymus-wierix","title":"Jonah Cast into the Sea - Hieronymus Wierix","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed sixteenth-century Flemish engraving depicting the biblical story of Jonah, rendered with fine line work and contemporary hand-colouring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis hand-coloured engraving depicts the biblical narrative of Jonah being cast overboard by sailors into the waiting jaws of a large sea creature. Hieronymus Wierix, a member of a prolific family of engravers based in Antwerp, demonstrates his technical precision through the fine lines and cross-hatching that define the turbulent water and the rigging of the ship. The composition is typical of late sixteenth-century Flemish printmaking, where narrative clarity is balanced with decorative elements, such as the carved elephant head on the ship's prow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe scene captures the moment of high drama as Jonah is lowered into the waves. The sailors are rendered with expressive gestures, their clothing reflecting the period fashion of the Low Countries. The sea creature, depicted as a hybrid of fish and sea serpent, dominates the foreground, its open mouth ready to receive the prophet. The inclusion of Latin text at the base, alongside handwritten French commentary, suggests this print originated from a devotional book or a collection of biblical illustrations intended for study or contemplation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWierix was known for his ability to produce small-scale, highly detailed works that circulated widely across Europe. His prints were often used as models for other artists, influencing the visual language of religious art during the Counter-Reformation. The application of colour, likely added by a contemporary hand, softens the starkness of the original engraving, providing a sense of depth to the churning sea and the wooden structure of the vessel.

Hieronymus Wierix, a prolific engraver of the period, produced this work after a design by Jan van der Straet, also known as Stradanus. The print belongs to a series documenting the horses of Don John of Austria, the illegitimate son of Emperor Charles V.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition presents a powerful stallion in a dynamic, rearing posture. The animal is rendered with anatomical focus, displaying the muscular definition and controlled energy typical of the period's interest in equestrian subjects. The horse wears a complex bit and bridle, reflecting the sophisticated horsemanship of the sixteenth-century European aristocracy. The background features a subtle, atmospheric landscape with distant architectural elements, providing a sense of scale and setting without distracting from the primary subject.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWierix employs a refined system of cross-hatching and fine lines to model the horse's form, creating a sense of volume and texture in the coat. The Latin inscription at the base, 'Eqvus Regivs', identifies the status of the animal, while the surrounding text provides a classical framing for the image. This work demonstrates the collaborative nature of print production in the late sixteenth century, where the invention of a painter was translated into a reproducible medium by a master engraver.

The composition centres on the figure of Christ, bound to a column, while his tormentors surround him with instruments of punishment. Wierix employs a precise, controlled burin technique to define the musculature of the central figure and the varied textures of the clothing worn by the figures on the periphery. The lighting is dramatic, emanating from an unseen source to cast deep shadows that define the forms within the confined space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe print includes a Latin inscription at the base, taken from the Book of Isaiah, chapter 53, which provides theological context for the scene.

The Wierix brothers were known for their technical proficiency and their ability to produce small-scale devotional images that were widely circulated across Europe. This particular work demonstrates the characteristic Northern Mannerist approach to anatomy and narrative, where the emotional intensity of the subject is balanced by the technical rigour of the engraving process.

The composition is heavily influenced by the earlier work of Albrecht Dürer, whose monogram appears at the bottom of the print. Wierix, a member of a prolific family of engravers in Antwerp, demonstrates technical precision through his use of fine hatching and cross-hatching to define form and texture. The Virgin is shown in a contemplative pose, while the Christ Child holds a small bird. A monkey, tethered by a chain, sits at the base of the composition, a common motif in Northern Renaissance art that often symbolised human folly or the base instincts of man, contrasted here with the divine nature of the central figures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe background features a detailed river scene with a timber-framed building, reflecting the interest in atmospheric perspective and naturalistic observation typical of the period.
