Anton Wierix (1552-1604) - Christ and the crucified martyrs - First state
Est: €350 - €450
In the central scene, we find Mary and John the Evangelist at the foot of the cross. The suffering Christ stands out against an inky black sky. Above the cross God spreads his arms. 'Veni Coronaberis' he speaks to his son; 'Come and be crowned’. On the right and left of the central scene martyrs are depicted, all of whom suffered on the cross: Peter, Calliopius, Pioneers, Victorinus, Andrew, Timotheus, Paphnutius and Hadrian. Below these are three more side scenes illustrating the passion story: the agony in the garden, the flagellation and the crowning of thorns. This is a first state made and published by Anthony Wierix, before the publishers address of Hieronymous Wierix on the second state.

The Christ Child is sleeping peacefully in a wicker basket. His body is covered with a silky fabric. Mary, with eyes closed, is in adoration before the infant. Within her ample halo there is a circle of 12 stars, like the crown John describes in Apocalypse 12.1. The pleating of her robe is accentuated by a delicate light-shadow effect. The caption (Dilectus meus candidus et rubicundus, electus ex millibus) is an excerpt from Song of Songs 5:10 and translates as: My love shines and shines, he was chosen among ten thousands.

Anton Wierix (1552-1604) -The vision of Theresa of Avila
Est: €300 - €400
In 1572, when Teresa received communion from Juan de la Cruz, her spiritual adviser, she experienced a mystical ecstasy. In a vision, Christ appeared and showed her his right hand. "Look at this nail, it is the sign that you will be my bride," he said. In 1577, she wrote her famous mystical work, Castillo Interior (The Inner Fortress), in which she describes with great delicacy the mystical ascent in seven stages. In the print, we see how the vision takes place in the church. The life-sized Christ with the cross on his shoulder is accompanied at top left by two angels and God in a cloud formation. Important and somewhat larger size engraving amongst the work by this master.
