Cort, a Dutch master known for his technical precision in copperplate engraving, captures the figure seated in a natural setting, flanked by two gnarled trees. The woman holds a cross, a traditional symbol of endurance and faith, while a lamb rests beside her, representing gentleness and innocence. Beneath her, a dragon lies subdued, symbolising the triumph of calm resolve over chaotic or malevolent forces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition follows the conventions of the period, using clear, controlled lines to define form and texture. The drapery of the figure's robes is rendered with rhythmic, parallel hatching that creates a sense of volume and weight. Cort’s ability to translate the painterly qualities of his contemporaries into the medium of engraving is evident here, particularly in the modelling of the figure's features and the tactile quality of the surrounding foliage. The Latin inscription at the base provides a moralising context, suggesting that patience softens even the hardest of circumstances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCort spent a significant portion of his career in Italy, where he collaborated with artists such as Titian. This period influenced his approach to light and shadow, which is visible in the balanced tonal range of this print. The work is part of a series dedicated to the virtues, a popular theme for collectors and scholars during the sixteenth century. The print demonstrates the high level of craftsmanship associated with the workshop of Hieronymus Cock, who published many of Cort's works. The clarity of the line work and the balanced arrangement of the figures reflect the intellectual rigour of the Northern Renaissance, where classical allegory and Christian morality often intersected in visual art.\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\/abraham-dismissing-hagar-lucas-van-leyden\" 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;\"\u003eAbraham Dismissing Hagar - Lucas van Leyden — Lucas van Leyden\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/the-sixth-angel-sounds-the-trumpet-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;\"\u003eThe Sixth Angel Sounds the Trumpet - Gerard de Jode — Gerard de Jode\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Cornelis Cort","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58427233370447,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58427365261647,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58427365294415,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58427365327183,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58427365359951,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58427365392719,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58427365425487,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58427365458255,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58427365491023,"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":58427365523791,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58427365556559,"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":58427365589327,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/The-Virtues_-Patientia_Poster_CompositorV1_1786165565948.jpg?v=1786222150"},{"product_id":"the-virtues-memoria-cornelis-cort","title":"The Virtues: Memoria - Cornelis Cort","description":"\u003cp\u003eA classical allegorical engraving by Dutch master Cornelis Cort, depicting the personification of Memory with a faithful dog.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis engraving by Cornelis Cort, a Dutch master active in the sixteenth century, depicts the personification of Memoria (Memory). The work belongs to a series exploring the virtues, a common subject in Renaissance iconography.

Her posture is contemplative, with her gaze directed toward the tablet in her hands. Beside her stands a dog, a traditional symbol of fidelity and watchfulness, which serves to ground the allegorical figure in a tangible, earthly reality. The background includes architectural elements, specifically a column and a building facade, which provide a sense of classical order and spatial depth.

Cort, a Dutch engraver who spent his later years in Italy, was instrumental in translating the works of painters like Titian into the medium of print.

She gestures towards a bird perched on a branch above her, while a lion rests beside her, symbolising the taming of wild forces through peaceful accord. The inclusion of the Latin inscription at the base provides a moralising context, a common feature in sixteenth-century allegorical prints. The composition balances the human form with natural elements, demonstrating the influence of Italian Mannerism on Cort's work.

Cort, a Dutch engraver who spent his later years in Italy, was instrumental in disseminating the works of Titian and other masters through his precise technical skill. In this composition, the sense of hearing is represented by a central female figure surrounded by an array of musical instruments, including a lute, a viol, a set of bagpipes, and a pipe organ. A stag rests beside her, an animal traditionally associated with acute hearing in Renaissance iconography. The Latin inscription at the base explains the physiological process of sound perception, connecting the external ear to the nerves leading to the brain. The work demonstrates the high level of detail achievable through copperplate engraving, with careful cross-hatching used to define the textures of the drapery, the fur of the stag, and the polished surfaces of the instruments. The arrangement of objects creates a sense of depth, while the inclusion of musical notation and various acoustic devices provides a comprehensive visual catalogue of the auditory experience as understood in the sixteenth century.

Cort, who spent his later years in Italy, was a master of the burin, and his technical precision is evident in the varied textures of the foliage, the woven basket, and the folds of the figure's garments. The composition follows the Northern Renaissance tradition of using allegorical figures to represent human perception.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe central figure is a woman seated in a natural setting, engaged in the act of tasting fruit. Her posture is relaxed, yet the inclusion of a monkey, chained to a stone wall, introduces a layer of moral commentary common to the period. The monkey, often associated with base instincts and gluttony, serves as a counterpoint to the human subject. The foreground is filled with an abundance of produce, including grapes and other fruits, which are rendered with careful attention to form and light. The Latin inscription at the base, 'SENSORIVM GVSTATVS EST NERVVS SVPRA LINGVAM EXPANVS AD QVEM SAPOR PERVENIT DVCTVS A SALIVA', provides a physiological explanation of the sense of taste, reflecting the era's interest in the intersection of classical philosophy and empirical observation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCort's work is characterised by a sophisticated use of cross-hatching to create volume and depth.

The print captures the intensity of the clash, focusing on the physical struggle and the scale of the ancient military machinery.\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\/hieronymus-scottus-placentinus-dominicus-custos\" 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;\"\u003eHieronymus Scottus Placentinus - Dominicus Custos — Dominicus Custos\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/mary-toft-apparently-giving-birth-to-rabbits-william-hogarth\" 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;\"\u003eMary Toft, apparently giving birth to rabbits - William Hogarth — William Hogarth\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Cornelis Cort","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58428611002703,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58428626370895,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58428626403663,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58428626436431,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58428626469199,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58428626501967,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58428626534735,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58428626567503,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58428626600271,"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":58428626633039,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58428626665807,"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":58428626698575,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Battle-of-the-Romans-against-Hannibal_Poster_CompositorV1_1786168685684.jpg?v=1786225187"},{"product_id":"the-triumph-of-want-cornelis-cort","title":"The Triumph of Want - Cornelis Cort","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed sixteenth-century engraving by Cornelis Cort, depicting an allegorical procession representing the physical and moral consequences of poverty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Triumph of Want is a masterful engraving by the Dutch printmaker Cornelis Cort, based on a design by the Flemish artist Maarten van Heemskerck. This work belongs to a series of allegorical prints exploring the human condition and moral failings. The composition depicts a chariot pulled by emaciated horses, representing the physical and spiritual toll of poverty and neglect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the centre of the chariot sits a figure embodying Torpor, holding a staff, while other personifications of human vices and conditions, such as Inopia (Want) and Impia (Impiety), are arranged around the vehicle. The figures are rendered with precise, controlled lines, a hallmark of Cort's technical skill, which helped to standardise the language of engraving in the sixteenth century. The background features a distant townscape, providing a sense of scale and context to the allegorical procession.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBelow the main image, a cartouche contains Latin text that explains the moral narrative, identifying the figures and their symbolic roles. The print demonstrates the influence of Italian Mannerism on Northern European artists, particularly in the elongated proportions and the dramatic, theatrical arrangement of the figures. Cort, who spent his later years in Rome, was instrumental in translating the complex compositions of painters like Titian and Heemskerck into the medium of print. This specific engraving reflects the period's fascination with moralising themes, where classical allegory was used to comment on contemporary social and ethical issues. The attention to detail in the anatomy of the horses and the expressive faces of the figures demonstrates the high level of craftsmanship expected of professional printmakers during this era.

The composition follows the tradition of Petrarchan triumphs, where personified vices or virtues are paraded in elaborate chariots. Here, Envy sits atop a chariot drawn by horses, surrounded by figures representing associated negative traits such as Calumny, Detraction, and Perturbation. The scene is rendered with the technical precision characteristic of Cort, who was a master of the burin and played a significant role in the dissemination of Italianate styles within Northern Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe visual narrative is dense with symbolic detail.

The use of hatching and cross-hatching creates a range of tones, defining the musculature of the horses and the folds of the drapery with clarity. Latin inscriptions are integrated into the lower portion of the print, providing a moralising commentary on the nature of envy as the mother of war and discord. This work reflects the intellectual climate of the sixteenth century, where classical themes were frequently adapted to explore human psychology and moral philosophy.

Below, a multitude of figures, including biblical patriarchs and historical monarchs, are gathered in a state of adoration. The scene is organised with a sense of vertical movement, drawing the eye from the earthly figures at the base towards the divine light above.

The narrative follows the knight Rogero, who descends from the clouds on a hippogriff to rescue the princess Angelica. She is chained to a rock, threatened by a sea monster. Cort, a Dutch engraver who spent his later years in Italy, demonstrates his technical mastery through the use of varied hatching and cross-hatching to define form and texture.

His work often involved translating the paintings of masters like Titian into the medium of print. In this piece, the influence of Venetian art is visible in the treatment of the human figure and the atmospheric depth of the background. The scene balances the central action with a detailed environment, where the rugged terrain and the inclusion of a skull in the foreground add a sense of danger and mortality to the mythological encounter. The print reflects the period's interest in classical literature and the technical precision required for high-quality copperplate engraving. The lines are controlled and deliberate, creating a sense of volume in the figures and depth in the surrounding topography. This work remains a clear example of the collaborative nature of printmaking during the sixteenth century, where the engraver acted as both interpreter and creator of visual narratives.\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\/study-sheet-with-five-figures-the-desperate-man-albrecht-durer\" 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;\"\u003eStudy Sheet with Five Figures ('The Desperate Man') - Albrecht Dürer — Albrecht Dürer\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/title-page-for-a-series-of-water-nymphs-philips-galle\" 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;\"\u003eTitle Page for a Series of Water Nymphs - Philips Galle — Philip Galle\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Cornelis Cort","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58429049962831,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58429059924303,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58429059957071,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58429059989839,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58429060022607,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58429060055375,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58429060088143,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58429060120911,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58429060153679,"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":58429060186447,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58429060219215,"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":58429060251983,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Rogero-Liberating-Angelica-from-the-Dragon_Poster_CompositorV1_1786174143654.jpg?v=1786230538"},{"product_id":"saint-peter-receiving-the-keys-cornelis-cort","title":"Saint Peter Receiving the Keys - Cornelis Cort","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed 1567 engraving by Cornelis Cort depicting the biblical moment of Christ entrusting the keys to Saint Peter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCornelis Cort, a Dutch engraver who spent much of his career in Italy, produced this engraving in 1567. The composition depicts the biblical narrative where Christ entrusts the keys of the kingdom to Saint Peter. Cort was known for his technical precision, often working after designs by masters such as Titian or Raphael. This work demonstrates his command of the burin, using varied line weights to define the heavy folds of the drapery and the anatomical structure of the figures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe scene is set in an open space, with a classical architectural element on the right providing a frame for the interaction. Saint Peter kneels in the centre, his posture conveying humility and reverence as he accepts the keys from Christ. The surrounding figures, representing the other apostles, observe the exchange with varied expressions. Cort employs a sophisticated system of cross-hatching to create depth and shadow, which gives the figures a sculptural quality.
