Pacientia. (Patience) Around 1520, the small format became for decades fashionable in the north. On the one hand, the small format was certainly based on the Italian niello prints, which were very popular in the early 16th century. On the other hand, the small formats were in line with the custom of the time of gluing collectable prints into books. Small, very detailed engravings with unusual motifs but familiar formulas were very popular. From the late 1530s Sebalds style of engraving became more focused on the creation of clear designs on very small scale. At the same time, he developed a more sensuous approach to his subject-matter. This is exemplified in Patience produced in 1539. Sebald was never ashamed to use other artist's ideas. During 1539 Beham made several independent engravings of allegorical figures. They are always set in the near foreground with a few attributes surrounding them. Brilliant, detailed and nuanced early impression with the platemark visible. In excellent condition.
