This print showcases two medallions with intricate portraits of Sebald Beham and Anna Beham, created by the talented artist Wenceslaus Hollar in 1647. The image transports us back to the 17th century, allowing us to appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship of this Bohemian engraver and etcher. In one medallion, we see a distinguished male figure wearing a laurel wreath, symbolizing his professional success as a painter. This is none other than Sebald Beham himself, known for his remarkable contributions to the arts during this era. His profile exudes confidence and expertise. The second medallion features Anna Beham, Sebald's wife. Her portrait captures her gracefulness and elegance as she gazes into the distance. It is evident that she played an important role in supporting her husband's artistic endeavors. Wenceslaus Hollar masterfully brings these historical figures to life through his meticulous attention to detail in this stunning print. Each line etched on their faces tells a story of dedication and passion for their craft. Displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this artwork serves as a reminder of our rich artistic heritage from centuries past. It invites viewers to reflect upon the significance of marriage partnerships within creative professions while appreciating the skillful workmanship behind each portrait. Through Hollar's lens, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the talent and legacy left behind by these influential individuals who continue
