{"product_id":"dan-and-gad-johann-sadeler-i","title":"Dan and Gad - Johann Sadeler I","description":"\u003cp\u003eA hand-coloured copperplate engraving by Johann Sadeler I, depicting the biblical figures of Dan and Gad from the twelve tribes of Israel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis hand-coloured engraving by Johann Sadeler I depicts the biblical figures of Dan and Gad, two of the sons of Jacob. As a prominent member of the Sadeler family of engravers, Johann was active in Antwerp and later in Munich, where he produced numerous works based on religious and allegorical themes. This print belongs to a series illustrating the twelve tribes of Israel, a subject popular in late sixteenth-century European print culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition is divided into two distinct panels. On the left, Dan is shown in a tunic and turban, accompanied by a horse and a serpent, referencing the prophecy in Genesis regarding his tribe. On the right, Gad appears in military attire, complete with a plumed helmet and sword, reflecting his association with warfare. The figures are rendered with the elongated proportions and expressive poses characteristic of the Mannerist style. The background features rolling hills and distant architectural structures, providing a sense of spatial depth despite the stylised nature of the figures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe application of colour, likely added after the initial printing, enhances the decorative quality of the work. The palette includes muted blues, reds, and ochres, which define the garments and armour of the figures. Latin inscriptions at the base of each panel provide context, identifying the figures and citing the relevant biblical passages from Genesis. This piece offers a glimpse into the intersection of theology, classical iconography, and printmaking techniques during the late Renaissance period in Northern Europe. It serves as an example of the technical precision achieved by the Sadeler workshop, which was highly regarded for its output of religious and secular prints for a learned audience.\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=\"\/products\/london-bridge-from-the-copper-plate-magazine-john-walker\" 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;\"\u003eLondon Bridge, from The Copper Plate Magazine - John Walker — John Walker\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/blossoming-plants-julie-de-graag-1\" 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;\"\u003eBlossoming Plants - Julie de Graag — Julie de Graag\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Johann Sadeler I","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58429306241359,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58429320429903,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58429320462671,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58429320495439,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58429320528207,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58429320560975,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58429320593743,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58429320626511,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58429320659279,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58429320692047,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58429320724815,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58429320757583,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Dan-and-Gad_Poster_CompositorV1_1786180690153.jpg?v=1786236216","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/dan-and-gad-johann-sadeler-i","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
