EDITORS COMMENTS
"This engraving, created by the skilled hand of Aegidius Sadeler II in the early 17th century, depicts Bartholomaeus Spranger and his late wife, Christina Muller. The image is an allegorical representation of the passage of time and the fleeting nature of fame and fortune. Bartholomaeus Spranger, a renowned Flemish artist of the Baroque era, is shown seated on a throne, dressed in the fashionable clothing of the time. His late wife, Christina Muller, lies at his feet, symbolizing the transience of life and the inevitability of death. The cherubs and Amorini surrounding the couple represent the fleeting nature of fame and the passage of time. The allegorical figure of Fama, or Fame, is depicted as an hourglass, pouring out the sands of time onto the heads of the couple. The hourglass serves as a reminder that time waits for no one, and that even the most celebrated artists and their wives are subject to the passage of time. The engraving is masterfully executed on laid paper, with intricate details and subtle shading that bring the figures to life. The use of monochrome, or black and white, adds to the somber and contemplative mood of the image. This poignant work of art is a testament to the artistic school of the Baroque era and the enduring legacy of Aegidius Sadeler II and Bartholomaeus Spranger. It is a reminder of the human condition and the universal truth that time marches on, regardless of fame, fortune, or artistic accomplishment." Location: National Gallery of Art, Washington D.C.
