Beautiful 16th-century antique engraving with walnut frame depicting "The Beheading of Saint Paul" by Johann Sadeler I. Perfect condition. Size with frame: 40 x 31 cm. The Sadelers were a family of Flemish artists, mainly engravers of reproductions, active throughout Europe between the 16th and 17th centuries. The style of the family members is very similar and not always easily distinguishable; for three generations, moving from Holland to Italy, stopping in Germany and Prague, these engravers, publishers and print dealers played a central role in the dissemination of images. From 1572 Jan/Johan worked in Antwerp, then the world center of printing. With his younger brother Rafael the Elder he initially moved to Cologne, but unrest in the Dutch revolt forced the Antwerp artists to relocate, so the Sadelers came to Italy in 1593, to Venice, where they opened a print shop.
