Israhel chose the formula of the ornamental print as a means to summarize his identity in name, profession, and spiritual life and to demonstrate his God-given creative potency. As a print, this work is the figurative multiplication of the engraver’s fruitfulness. During the late fifteenth century, the market for prints featuring ornamental leaves and blossoms developed out of long-standing workshop practices that depended on the selection and reproduction of existing images as a means to produce new works. In and out of the late fifteenth-century workshop, printed ornamental designs were viewed actively and considered changeable; their owners treated them as if they were fertile seeds in a cycle of creative reproduction. |
