This old master's original print with a lifetime impression and with a full mastery of this artistic medium, tells the story of the Catholic Syrian saint, Malchus of Chalcis. The only child of a farming family, worked as a shepherd and spent his free time praying. His family hoped he would build a family and marry, but Malchus felt a call to the religious life. Pursuing his goal, he became a monk and a vegetarian, eating only dates, cheese and milk, as the etching shows. When Malchus’ father died, he left the monastery against his abbot‘s orders to return home and help his family. On the road, he and a group of pilgrims to him bound, were kidnapped by Saracen raiders and sold into slavery. He was forced to marry another slave, but converted her to Christianity, and the two lived as brother and sister. They eventually escaped, returning to Malchus’ old monastery where they lived the religious life; Malchus was often called on to tell his story as a lesson about disobeying your abbot. Legend says that while they were on the road to the monastery, the escaped slaves were protected by a lion.
Johannes Sadeler comes from one of the most renowned family of Flemish engravers, active in the 16th and 17th century. The best known is Gillis (Antwerp 1570 - Prague 1629), who stayed in Munich (1590, 1594) and in Rome (1593); from 1600 was active at the court of Prague. He was influenced by H. Goltzius; and made engravings of sacred and secular subjects, portraits, landscapes. Jan or Johannnes (Brussels 1550 - Venice 1600) was in Munich as a court engraver (1588-95) and then in Italy. He left prints of various subjects (series of the Seven Planets, 1585). We should also mention his brother Raphael (Antwerp around 1560 - Munich around 1628).
