"Jacobus Veronensis: A Master of Mythological and Religious Engravings" Step into the captivating world of Jacobus Veronensis, a renowned artist whose engravings have left an indelible mark on art history. With each plate, he weaves intricate tales that transport us to ancient mythological realms and sacred religious scenes. In Plate 1, Saturn looms in a niche as he devours his son, standing ominously before a scythe. The chilling imagery evokes both fear and fascination with its dark symbolism. Ixion's ill-fated attempt to seduce Juno unfolds in Plate 2, surrounded by clouds and ruins below. Veronensis skillfully captures the tension between desire and consequence in this ca. 1520-39 masterpiece. Plate 3 portrays the martyrdom of Saint Paul alongside the condemnation of Saint Peter (1524-27). Through meticulous detail, Veronensis brings forth their unwavering faith amidst persecution, reminding us of their enduring legacy. The union of Alexander and Roxana takes center stage in Plate 4; Alexander is adorned by putti offering him a crown. This enchanting scene showcases Veronensis' ability to depict grandeur while capturing tender moments within historical narratives. Inspired by Raphael's composition at Villa Farnesina, Mercury carries Psyche to Olympus in Plate The delicate balance between divine intervention and mortal love is beautifully portrayed through exquisite lines etched by Veronensis' hand. Hercules' triumph over Achelous appears vividly in Plate 6 (ca. 1526-27), where the river god assumes the form of a bull as three women watch on anxiously. Here we witness Veronensis' mastery at illustrating dynamic action sequences intertwined with mythology's rich tapestry. Diogenes sits contemplatively with his barrel behind him while engrossed in reading a book - all captured in Plate
