Artist
Jan Sadeler
Jan Sadeler is an artist. 4 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Jan Sadeler made prints in the second half of the 1500s, a time when religious scenes were often turned into pictures for books and walls. His engravings show Bible stories in sharp lines and careful detail. Look at The Angel Appearing to the Shepherds, where light breaks through the night sky, or The Nativity and the Adoration of the Shepherds, crowded with figures around the baby Jesus. Tap The Rich Man and Lazarus to see how he mixed everyday life with a moral warning.
