"Engraved by Giorgio Ghisi: A Masterpiece of Artistry and Symbolism" Step into the world of Giorgio Ghisi, a renowned engraver whose works have captivated art enthusiasts for centuries. One such masterpiece is his engraving of the Last Supper in 1551, measuring an impressive 13 3/4 x 21 inches. In this intricate piece, Ghisi skillfully portrays an allegory of sickness with a man laying prostrate on a bed, surrounded by various symbolic elements. The Virgin Sorrows take center stage in another work by Ghisi, where an angel stands amidst nine surrounding compartments depicting scenes of sorrow and anguish. Ghisi's talent shines through once again in his depiction of the Coronation Virgin. This enchanting print showcases the Virgin Mary being crowned as queen while being surrounded by nine vignettes that depict significant events from her life. Moving forward to the late 1570s, we encounter Ghisi's Martyrdom St Barbara engraving sheet. Here, he captures the essence of martyrdom with exquisite detail and precision. The central part print features the Virgin Sorrows once more, accompanied by nine surrounding compartments that tell tales of sorrow and redemption. Another remarkable creation by Ghisi is Angelica Medoro - a couple embracing each other passionately while Medoro carves their love onto a tree trunk. This portrayal evokes emotions and highlights human connection at its most intimate level. Ghisi's talents extend beyond religious themes as well; he also contributed to series like Prophet Joel from Prophets Sibyls Sistine Chapel – showcasing his versatility as an artist. The Presentation Temple engraving depicts yet another scene from the life of Mary - her presentation at the temple surrounded by nine captivating compartments illustrating different aspects related to this event.
