The figure stands within a classical architectural niche, a common device in sixteenth-century printmaking to provide spatial depth and a sense of monumental scale. She is draped in flowing robes, rendered with precise hatching and cross-hatching techniques that define the volume of the fabric and the play of light across its folds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn her left hand, she holds a large key, a traditional attribute signifying the control of one's impulses and the unlocking of wisdom. At her feet lies a large fish, a creature often associated with the aquatic realm and, in this context, serving as a symbolic contrast to the virtue of sobriety. The composition is balanced and restrained, reflecting the humanist interest in moral allegory that permeated the artistic circles of the Low Countries during this period. Collaert, a member of a prominent family of engravers based in Antwerp, demonstrates a high level of technical proficiency in his handling of the burin. The lines are clean and deliberate, creating a clear distinction between the foreground figure and the shadowed background of the niche.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis work belongs to a series of allegorical figures, likely intended for a scholarly or aristocratic audience interested in the visual representation of virtues. The Latin inscription at the base, Sobrietas, identifies the subject clearly, ensuring the viewer understands the moral lesson intended by the artist. The print is a fine example of the period's focus on classical iconography, where human figures serve as vessels for abstract concepts. The attention to anatomical detail and the structured arrangement of the drapery show the influence of Italian Mannerism on Northern European printmakers, who often synthesised these stylistic elements with their own tradition of meticulous detail.\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\/crucifixion-of-christ-hieronymus-wierix\" 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;\"\u003eCrucifixion of Christ - Hieronymus Wierix — Hieronymus Wierix\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/the-nativity-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 Nativity - Martin Schongauer — Martin Schongauer\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Jan Collaert (I)","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58485983478095,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58485986066767,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58485986099535,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58485986132303,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58485986165071,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58485986197839,"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":58485986230607,"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":58485986263375,"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":58485986296143,"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":58485986328911,"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":58485986361679,"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":58485986394447,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Sobrietas_Poster_CompositorV1_1786371519179.jpg?v=1786848205"},{"product_id":"david-slaying-goliath-hans-collaert-the-elder","title":"David Slaying Goliath - Hans Collaert the Elder","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed sixteenth-century engraving by Hans Collaert the Elder, depicting the biblical victory of David over Goliath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis engraving by Hans Collaert the Elder depicts the biblical narrative of David and Goliath. The composition focuses on the immediate aftermath of the combat, with David standing over the fallen giant, Goliath. David holds the giant's sword aloft, preparing to deliver the final blow. The artist employs a clear, narrative structure, placing the primary figures in the foreground while the background shows the retreating Philistine army and the advancing Israelites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCollaert uses precise line work to define the musculature of the figures and the textures of their garments. The engraving technique allows for a range of tonal values, from the deep shadows beneath the figures to the lighter, etched lines of the distant hills and sky. The scene is framed by a sense of motion, as the soldiers in the background flee the site of the conflict. A Latin inscription at the base of the print provides context, referencing the First Book of Samuel, chapter 17, which recounts the defeat of the Philistine champion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a member of a prominent family of engravers in Antwerp, Collaert was part of a tradition that disseminated religious and mythological imagery across Europe.

Collaert, a prominent Flemish engraver based in Antwerp, was known for his technical precision and his contributions to the dissemination of biblical imagery through print media. The composition is organised to show the scale of the architectural undertaking, with King Solomon positioned in the foreground, gesturing towards the construction site.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the background, workers are shown engaged in various tasks, including masonry and the transport of materials, set against a backdrop of a city under development. The use of colour, applied by hand to the original engraving, adds a layer of visual clarity to the figures and the architectural elements. The inclusion of Latin and French inscriptions at the base of the print provides a direct reference to the biblical source, specifically the Third Book of Kings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCollaert employs a narrative style common to the period, where multiple stages of an event are presented within a single frame. The figures are rendered with the characteristic proportions and drapery styles of the mid-sixteenth century. The print reflects the interest in classical architectural forms and biblical history that occupied many artists in the Low Countries during this era. The work is a fine example of the collaborative nature of print production in Antwerp, where artists, engravers, and publishers worked in close proximity to produce high-quality visual materials for a broad audience. The attention to detail in the tools and the construction process suggests a desire to ground the biblical narrative in a recognisable, practical reality.\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\/the-monstrous-sow-of-landser-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;\"\u003eThe Monstrous Sow of Landser - Albrecht Dürer — Albrecht Dürer\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/at-the-market-pieter-aertsen\" 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;\"\u003eAt the Market - Pieter Aertsen — Pieter Aertsen\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Jan Collaert (I)","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58486272688463,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58486281273679,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58486281306447,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58486281339215,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58486281371983,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58486281404751,"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":58486281437519,"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":58486281470287,"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":58486281503055,"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":58486281535823,"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":58486281568591,"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":58486281601359,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Solomon-Building-the-Temple_Poster_CompositorV1_1786374514491.jpg?v=1786852059"},{"product_id":"josephs-dream-hans-collaert-the-elder","title":"Joseph's Dream - Hans Collaert the Elder","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed sixteenth-century hand-coloured engraving by Hans Collaert the Elder, depicting the biblical narrative of Joseph sharing his prophetic dreams.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis hand-coloured engraving depicts the biblical narrative of Joseph recounting his dreams to his family. Attributed to the Flemish engraver Hans Collaert the Elder, the work originates from a series illustrating the life of Joseph, often associated with the publishing house of Gerard de Jode. The composition is structured around the central figure of the young Joseph, who gestures towards the heavens, where celestial symbols of his prophetic visions appear. To the left, his brothers gather in a group, their postures suggesting a mixture of curiosity and growing resentment. To the right, Jacob and Rachel stand as observers, their attire rendered with the specific sartorial conventions of the sixteenth-century Low Countries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe engraving demonstrates the technical precision characteristic of the Collaert family workshop. The line work is fine and controlled, defining the folds of the garments and the contours of the figures against a backdrop of rolling hills and sparse vegetation. The application of colour, likely added by hand shortly after the printing process, follows the conventions of the period, using a palette of primary tones to differentiate the figures and draw attention to the symbolic elements in the sky. The inclusion of Latin and French text at the base of the print provides the scriptural reference, Genesis 37, anchoring the visual narrative within its theological source. This piece offers a clear view into the pedagogical and devotional functions of print culture in the late sixteenth century, where such images served to disseminate biblical stories to a wider audience.
