Pendant Design with a Couple at Center
Jan Collaert I Netherlandish
Not on view
Vertical panel with a pendant design at center, with a couple before an arch surrounded by a strapwork background with grotesques. At the left and right side of the ornament, inward-facing fish are incorporated into the strapwork. Plate 6 from a set of ten plates with pendant designs, with deities and strapwork backgrounds. The first edition of the series was published in Antwerp by Philips Galle in 1581 and exists in two states; two later editions – the first published by Theodoor Galle after 1600 and the second by Johannes Galle after 1636 – were also produced in Antwerp. Jan Collaert I produced several series of plates with pendant designs, a practice continued by his son, Adriaen Collaert.
