Christ Appearing to Mary Magdalen, 1567. Creator: Cornelis Cort (Dutch, 1533-1578); Giulio Clovio
Christ Appearing to Mary Magdalen, 1567. Netherlandish Mannerism In the mid-1500s, Antwerp was the cultural and intellectual capital of the Netherlands and Mannerism flourished there. Toward the end of the 1500s, the war for independence from Spain caused the artistic and commercial center of the Netherlands to shift to Holland, especially the cities of Amsterdam, Utrecht, and Haarlem. An important school of Mannerism thrived in Haarlem from about 1580 to 1610, lead by painter and master engraver Hendrick Goltzius. Goltziuss depictions of human figures were influenced by the exaggerated musculature, elongated proportions, and twisted poses he found in works by Michelangelo and Bartholomaeus Spranger (1546-1611). Spranger was the court painter to the Holy Roman Emperor Rudolph II in Prague. Goltzius and his followers, Jacob Matham, Jan Muller, Jacques de Gheyn II, and Jan Saenredam developed a style that combined Netherlandish and Italian sources into the movement known as International Mannerism. Cornelis Cort (Dutch, 1530-1578) Jesus Christ Appearing to Mary Magdalene (after Giulio Clovio), 1567 Engraving Gift of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph T. Meals 1979.131 Dutch printmaker Cornelius Cort is known for his reproductive prints after Italian artists. Working in collaboration with the Antwerp print publisher Hieronymus Cock, he earned a reputation as the most significant engraver of designs by Titian. His technique, emphasizing volume and texture through the use of tapering and swelling lines, was very influential for artists of subsequent generations, including Hendrick Goltzius

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Christ Appearing to Mary Magdalen" a masterpiece created in 1567 by Cornelis Cort, a renowned Dutch artist. The artwork belongs to the Netherlandish Mannerism movement, which thrived in Antwerp during the mid-1500s. At that time, Antwerp was considered the cultural and intellectual capital of the Netherlands. As the war for independence from Spain escalated towards the end of the century, Holland emerged as a new artistic and commercial center. Haarlem became particularly significant, hosting an influential school of Mannerism led by Hendrick Goltzius, a painter and master engraver. Goltzius drew inspiration from Michelangelo's exaggerated musculature and Bartholomaeus Spranger's twisted poses. The style developed by Goltzius and his followers combined both Netherlandish and Italian influences into what is known as International Mannerism. This fusion resulted in unique artworks that captivated audiences with their elongated proportions and intricate details. Cornelis Cort played a crucial role in popularizing Italian art among Dutch artists through his reproductive prints after famous Italian masters like Titian. His technique emphasized volume and texture using tapering lines, leaving a lasting impact on subsequent generations of artists. This particular print captures Cort's engraving depicting Jesus Christ appearing to Mary Magdalene after Giulio Clovio's original composition. It is part of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph T Meals' generous gift to Heritage Art/Heritage Images collection in 1979 (avoid mentioning commercial use).
