Author: Tomasz Treter Title: Symbolica vitae Christi Meditatio Editio princeps: Brunsberga 1612 in a publishing house of Georg Schonfels Project of copperplate engravings: Tomasz Treter Printmaker: Błażej Treter Access: oldrprint Short description: One hundred and three copperplate engravings were prepared according to Tomasz Treter's project by his nephew Błażej Treter. Except for the carved front page, the printing contains an escutcheon wood engraving with Błażej's dedication to Bp. Szymon Rudnicki and two wood engravings by Tomasz Treter with his emblem: a dragon fouling a cross on the first one and a letter 'T' on the second one. In many instances the mottos for particular icons are taken from the Holy Scripture. Tomasz Treter's subscriptions, written in a latin prose, are also abundantly incrusted with biblical quotations which create an elevated, sententional style. Engravings depict as well biblical scenes from Christ's life as alegoric icons. In both these types the author used Christian symbols, in many cases real items in a brief and ascetic manner as it can be seen in the presented reproduction. TR |
