Title
Hendrik Goltzius, Life of the Virgin engravings collection
Abstract
This collection contains two engravings by Hendrik Goltzius in the Life of the Virgin series.
Description
This collection contains two engravings from Hendrik Goltzius's The Life of the Virgin series: The Visitation (1593) and The Circumcision (1594).
The Visitation is the second print in the series, and depicts the scene described in Luke 1:39-45 where Mary visits Elizabeth in Judah (in the style of Parmigianino). Text beneath the image engraved by Franco Estius: "Plena Deo virgo, coelesti Pnenmate foeta, / Cognatum Helisaben montana per aspera visit; / Exultat sterilis saecunda, exultat et infans / Iam tunc in gravidae genitricis ventre Prophetes."
The Circumcision depicts the scene of Christ's circumcision described in Luke 2:21 (after the style of Albrecht Dürer). The text beneath the image engraved by C. Schonaeus reads: "Cernis ut octava sit circuncisus Iesus / Luce puer, tenero accipiens in corpore vulnus, / Ad normam veteris legis, ritumque receptum, / Isacidis multos observatumque per annos."
The other four prints in the series which are not included in the collection at Pitts Library are: The Annuncation (1594), The Adoration of Shepherds (1594), The Adoration of the Magi (1593), and The Holy Family with the Infant John the Baptist (1593).
Hendrik Goltzius (1558-1617) was a leading Dutch engraver in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries.
