"Jacobus Parmensis: A Master of Mythological and Religious Engravings" Step into the captivating world of Jacobus Parmensis, a renowned engraver whose works mesmerize with their intricate details and rich symbolism. Plate 1 unveils Saturn, the god of time, devouring his own son in a niche while standing before a scythe—a chilling reminder of mortality's grip. In Ixion's ill-fated pursuit to seduce Juno, clouds swirl around him as ruins lie beneath, symbolizing the consequences of hubris. Parmensis' talent shines through in The Martyrdom of Saint Paul and the Condemnation of Saint Peter (1524-27), where he masterfully captures the anguish and faithfulness amidst persecution. Witness Alexander's grand union with Roxana as putti surround him, offering a crown—an exquisite portrayal that exudes regality and love. Inspired by Raphael's composition at Villa Farnesina, Mercury carries Psyche to Olympus—an enchanting scene brimming with divine grace. Hercules triumphs over Achelous disguised as a bull while three women observe—Parmensis skillfully depicts strength prevailing against adversity. Diogenes finds solace seated beside his barrel, engrossed in reading while holding onto his trusty stick—a testament to simplicity and wisdom. The Marriage of the Virgin showcases Parmensis' ability to capture tender moments between Mary and Joseph (ca. 1525-26), radiating devotion amid heavenly blessings. The Annunciation (1537) transports us to sacred realms as angelic presence illuminates this pivotal moment—the divine message delivered with ethereal beauty. Apollo rides his chariot majestically in Plate 11 while Diana twists gracefully in Plate 12—both encapsulating mythological power within niches carved by Parmensis' imagination. Finally, Venus stands proudly on a conch shell accompanied by Cupid—a celebration of love's allure and eternal charm.
