Jan Sadeler I; Maarten de Vos

Jan Sadeler I and Maarten de Vos were documented collaborators active during the late 16th century, with recorded production dates spanning 1576 to 1586. Operating within the tradition of detailed narrative printmaking, their joint output consists primarily of works addressing Biblical, moral, and religious subjects.

Five of their historical prints are represented in museum collections, notably held by the National Gallery of Art. These include complex religious compositions such as The Coronation of the Virgin, The Temptation of Christ, and Magnificat: The Virgin Surrounded by Music-Making Angels. Their documented works also feature narrative scenes like Henoch and His Family at a Meal and The Perniciousness of Men.

As essential examples of late 16th-century visual culture, the surviving Jan Sadeler I; Maarten de Vos prints demonstrate a mastery of etching and engraving techniques. Since these works originated during the Renaissance period, many of these images are now in the public domain, allowing for the widespread availability of high-quality prints and downloadable artwork for study and display. The preservation of these works in institutional settings ensures the availability of museum-quality reproductions for researchers and collectors.
