About the Item
Prodigus is a beautiful black and white engraving on paper, made by Gerard de Jode around 1570.
Title in Latin "Delitys fruitur veneris patrisque liei / Prodigus, the premiere mox miser ecce fame" on the plate on the lower margin and "MC" monogrammed on plate the lower left margin and inscription of the author on the plate on the lower right margin ( the name is partially readable).
The parable of the son to the prodigy is finely described in this etching, very detailed in the description of the dissipation of the man surrounded by prostitutes, portrayed while gambling.
In very good conditions, with signs of the time, usual yellowing of the paper and sporadic stains on the left margin.
Reference: Nagler 1697.
