EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the 16th century with this exquisite facsimile of an initial letter A, expertly engraved by Ahasuerus van Londerseel after Peter van der Borcht. This stunning piece tells the story of Abraham and Isaac, a biblical tale of devotion and sacrifice. The intricate details and ornate design showcase the mastery of Flemish artistry during the Renaissance era.
The story begins with Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his beloved son Isaac as a test of faith, only to be halted by an angelic intervention. The scene is depicted in vivid detail, with figures rendered in fine lines and textures that seem almost three-dimensional. The background is adorned with foliage and architectural elements, adding depth and visual interest.
This remarkable print has been reproduced from a rare original etching published in Richard Fisher's catalogue in 1879. Its beauty lies not only in its historical significance but also its ability to transport us to a bygone era when art was truly a labor of love.
As you gaze upon this magnificent piece, imagine yourself walking through the streets of Brussels during the mid-16th century, surrounded by masterpieces like this one adorning grand buildings and manuscripts. Let your imagination run wild as you delve into the world of ancient stories told through exquisite art.
