{"product_id":"zabulon-and-issachar-johann-sadeler-i","title":"Zabulon and Issachar - Johann Sadeler I","description":"\u003cp\u003eA hand-coloured engraving by Johann Sadeler I depicting the biblical figures Zabulon and Issachar, rendered in the distinct style of Northern Mannerism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis hand-coloured engraving by Johann Sadeler I depicts the biblical figures of Zabulon and Issachar. As a member of the prolific Sadeler family of engravers, Johann was instrumental in the dissemination of Mannerist imagery across Europe. This work originates from a series illustrating the twelve sons of Jacob, a common subject in late sixteenth-century print culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition is divided into two distinct panels. On the left, Zabulon is shown as a mariner, standing beside an anchor with a ship visible in the background. His attire, including a red cap and blue trousers, reflects the period's interpretation of ancient dress. On the right, Issachar is portrayed as a labourer, accompanied by a donkey laden with goods and holding a shovel. The figures are rendered with the elongated proportions and expressive poses characteristic of the Mannerist style. The background settings provide a narrative context, contrasting the maritime life of Zabulon with the agricultural existence of Issachar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe print features Latin inscriptions at the base of each figure, which provide moral and descriptive commentary on their respective roles. The application of hand-colouring adds a layer of visual interest, distinguishing the figures from the surrounding landscape. The fine line work demonstrates the technical precision for which the Sadeler workshop was known. This piece offers a glimpse into the intersection of theology, classical iconography, and printmaking techniques during the late Renaissance. It serves as a record of how biblical narratives were visualised and categorised for a learned audience in the sixteenth century.\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\/johann-froben-the-printer-wallerant-vaillant-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;\"\u003eJohann Froben, the Printer - Wallerant Vaillant — Wallerant Vaillant\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/portrait-of-charles-i-of-england-anthony-van-dyck\" 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;\"\u003ePortrait of Charles I of England - Anthony van Dyck — Anthony van Dyck\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":58429357588815,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58429376037199,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58429376069967,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58429376102735,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58429376135503,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58429376168271,"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":58429376201039,"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":58429376233807,"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":58429376266575,"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":58429376299343,"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":58429376332111,"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":58429376364879,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Zabulon-and-Issachar_Poster_CompositorV1_1786182012955.jpg?v=1786237245","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/zabulon-and-issachar-johann-sadeler-i","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
