Description
Engraving, 1605 circa, signed at upper left of image “C V. Sichem Sculpsit”. Inscribed, in plate, upper right of image: “C. Wou:” and inscribed on the edge of book “Wonder Boeck.”. Based on a work of Jan Cornelisz Woudanus.
From Historische beschrijvinge ende affbeeldinge der voorneemste hooft ketteren, so vande catholijcke, ende christelijcke kercke[…], published in Amsterdam in 1608 by C. van Sichem.
Good example, printed on contemporary laid paper, with unidentified watermark, very good condition.
Portrait of David Jorisz. On the table a copy of Wonder Boeck, written by him. He lets his hand, in which he holds a carnation, rest on the book; in the other has a glove. Above his head the year 1554 and his age are mentioned.
David Joris, (born 1501/02, Ghent or Bruges, Flanders—died August 25, 1556, Basel, Switz.), religious reformer, a controversial and eccentric member of the Anabaptist movement. He founded the Davidists, or Jorists, who viewed Joris as a prophet and whose internal dissension led—three years after his death—to the cremation of his body after his posthumous conviction as an heretic.
According to Hollstein, the plate was published with Dutch and German text, in ornamental border, used in edition of 1608; without text and ornamental border in 1677 edition.
