Jan Collaert I Netherlandish
Not on view
Vertical panel with a pendant design at center, with a winged female figure standing on an orb and holding up a laurel wreath in her right hand. The figure is set in a strapwork background and is flanked by inward-facing griffins. At the bottom of the ornament is a female mask with a headdress. Plate 9 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.
