| Description historique: | |
|---|---|
The legend of Roman Emperor Trajan has been one that carries throughout many works of old master prints, considerably that of Hans Sebald Beham (Nuremberg, 1500- Frankfurt, 1550) . Emperor Trajan was also a famed military officer, seen here preparing for the Dacian Wars of the 1st century. He was stalled on his conquest, however, as the mother of a dying son stopped him amidst his cavalry; she begs for his pity and seeks his help in sparing his life in the courts of law. It is an exquisite piece, with Beham’s etched detailing as central to this commendable work. Monogrammed in the plate in the upper center ‘HSB’ with the date, ‘1537,’ this work is a dark, black impression printed on a fine laid paper. Catalogue Raisonné & COA: 1.

La biographie de Hans Sebald Beham
Barthel Beham was the older brother of painter, Hans Sebald Beham, a prolific printmaker who produced over 2,000 prints during his career. He focused on tiny engravings, placing him in the German printmaking school called the Little Masters. Hans Sebald Beham also worked with larger woodcuts and designed playing cards, wallpaper, coats of arms, and patterns for other artists. He illuminated a prayer book and created a painting for Cardinal Albrecht of Brandenburg. Along with his brother and Georg Pencz, Hans Sebald Beham was banished from Nuremberg in 1525 due to his beliefs that opposed Lutheranism, the dominant religion of the city. After returning to the city, Beham was exiled again for publishing a book that was believed to be plagiarized from one of Albrecht Durer's writings.
