Description
Engraving, circa 1614, signed lower left Gilles Dehondecoutre Invenit / CIVisscher excudit lower right: Johannes a Londerselius Schul
Lettered along lower margin: Vox ego sum clamans pastus Baptista locustis, Sylvarumq(ue) favis, et amictus veste cameli.
Magnificent proof, splendid contemporary hand-colouring, printed on contemporary laid paper, watermark "coat of arms with fleur-de-lis", with margins, usual trace of central vertical fold, in very good condition.
After a subject by the painter Gilles de Hondecoeter (1580-1638), the print was edited by Nicolas Visscher.
The excellent quality of the colouring significantly distinguishes and enhances these examples from those in black and white.

Jan van LONDERSEEL (Anversa circa 1570 – Rotterdam 1624/25)
|
Flemish engraver, etcher and print publisher. He apparently trained in Antwerp, where he may have worked in the workshop of Abraham de Bruyn, father of his brother-in-law Nicolaes de Bruyn. About 1600 he followed his brother A(ha)ssuerus van Londerseel (bapt Antwerp, 30 March 1572; d before 21 May 1649), also an engraver and print publisher, to Rotterdam. He seems to have been active there between 1610 and 1625; in 1614 he was living in Delft.
