Aegidius Sadeler Roelandt Savery
Aegidius Sadeler Roelandt Savery was an artistic entity active between 1570 and 1609, whose documented output consists primarily of detailed prints and engravings, often focusing on landscape and natural history subjects.
Their work is preserved in major institutions globally, with eight of their prints represented in collections, including the National Gallery of Art. These historical works demonstrate a mastery of etching techniques prevalent in the period. Notable examples of Aegidius Sadeler Roelandt Savery prints held in museum collections include the atmospheric Landscape with Men Fishing by Moonlight and the detailed scene Stag Hunt near a Pool. Other preserved works that emphasize environmental studies include Draughtsman on a Stone before a Bridge, Landscape with an Inn to the Right and House on Rocks to the Left, and Three Hunters and Two Dogs near a Pool.
As artifacts from the turn of the seventeenth century, these documented prints contribute significantly to the understanding of Northern European printmaking. Because these historical works reside in the public domain, institutions often make high-quality prints of the downloadable artwork available for scholarly research and appreciation.
