Print, Plate from 12 Stick Zum Verzaighnen Stechen Ver Fertigt (Set of Twelve Designs for Engraved Vessels)
This is a Print. It was print maker: Bernhard Zan. It is dated 1580 and we acquired it in 1942. Its medium is punch engraving, pen and black ink, graphite on cream laid paper. It is a part of the Drawings, Prints, and Graphic Design department.
Zan apprenticed as a goldsmith, and his training may have contributed to this relatively restrained series of designs for metalwork cups, which feature layered strapwork as a defining decorative feature, coupled with fruit, plants, and inventive grotesque heads. Zan may have been the first engraver to use the technique of punch-engraving to produce prints.
It is credited Museum purchase through gift of Mrs. John Innes Kane.
