About the Item

An image from the highly celebrated 14-part series titled Christ, the Apostles, and St. Paul with the Creed. Haarlem: c1590. Engraving on light-weight cream laid paper, 5 3/4 x 4 inches (142 x 102 mm), thread margins. In very good condition with minor surface soiling, consistent with age. Second state (of three) after the addition of the Arabic numeral in the lower left margin, but before the addition of the late publisher's address in the lower right margin. The image and Latin inscription remain identical to the first state, but an Arabic numeral matching the Roman numeral text (in this case a "5" placed in the lower-left corner of the text block) is added to facilitate binding the prints as a cohesive suite. A crisp, well-inked lifetime or early posthumous printing. [Hollstein 39]. Plate number V from his highly celebrated 14-part series titled Christ, the Apostles, and St. Paul with the Creed. The series structurally pairs each Apostle with a specific article of the Apostles' Creed, following a long-standing medieval tradition that each of the twelve disciples penned one clause of the statement of faith under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. As indicated by the Roman numeral V and the plate number 5 (visible in some states at the bottom left, though trimmed or faint here), St. Philip is assigned the fifth article. The Latin inscription in the lower margin reads: Descendit ad inferna, tertia die resurrexit a mortuis. (He descended into hell; on the third day he rose again from the dead.).

Saint Simon, from Christ and the Apostles

By Ludolf Ludwig Businck

Located in Middletown, NY

Chiaroscuro woodcut on cream laid paper, printed from three blocks in black, olive-green, and yellow ochre, 8 3/16 x 6 1/4 inches (207 x 157 mm), thread margins. Some scattered light discoloration throughout, lightly backed with laid paper, however the sheet retains translucence when viewed through raking light. Trimmed at or near the margin. Archivally sound small repaired corner tear, upper right, with a very minor (1/4 inch) vertical edge split in the center top margin, above the figure's head. All condition issues are consistent with age, and present an exceptionally good example of this truly remarkable work. With the collector's stamp of Friedrich August II, King of Saxony, last King of Poland (1797-1854), Dresden, on the right corner, recto (Lugt 971). This work likely appeared in a well-known posthumous sale of Friedrich August II's private collection, which was handled by C.G. Boerner, and took place in Leipzig, on May 7-9, 1928, presumably this print was presented as lot 1551. [Stechow 16] Ludolph Busïnck was born at Hann, Germany around 1590. By about 1620 he was actively working as a printmaker in Paris, collaborating with publisher and celebrated cartographer Melchoir Tavernier. Busïnck may have studied printmaking in the Netherlands, evidenced by the influence of Dutch printmaker Hendrick Goltzius we see in the bold woodcuts he produced in France. Busïnck was the first printmaker to create chiaroscuro woodcuts in France, a technique originated by German artist Hans Burgkmair...
