EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "A Pelican in her Piety" a remarkable artwork from the early 17th century. Created by Crispin I de Passe, a renowned Dutch artist, this piece is executed using pen and brown ink with brown wash. Measuring at just 9.5x9.5 cm, it is an exquisite example of delicate precision. The image depicts a pelican nestled within a circular composition, surrounded by various symbolic elements. The pelican's devotion to her young ones is beautifully portrayed as she bends down to feed them with her own blood, representing self-sacrifice and maternal love. This drawing comes from an album of emblems and book illustrations, showcasing the versatility of de Passe's talent across different mediums. The intricate details and careful shading bring life to the scene, allowing viewers to appreciate every stroke of the artist's hand. The inclusion of religious symbolism adds depth to the composition; a crucifixion scene can be seen in one corner while other birds perch nearby on branches or fly overhead. With permission from Chatsworth Settlement Trustees, this stunning reproduction allows art enthusiasts worldwide to admire and study this exceptional work. Its timeless beauty continues to captivate audiences centuries after its creation.
