Description: | "Cum Privilegio"; "Titianus Iventor/1565"; verso, in ink:"Grand", and "25/" CRE CORT, Cornelis; (Dutch; 1533-1578) AFTER TITIAN (Tiziano Vecelli); (Italian; 1480/85-1576) "This print, in which the scholarly hermit saint is dominated by the rugged landscape, is one of the group of six executed by Cort for Titian in 1565-6. In a letter written to Titian in 1567, the Netherlandish humanist Lampsonius praised all six engravings but singled out this one for special attention: 'unique in the world is that desolate and lonely little landscape with St Jerome. It gives me the greatest pleasure to imagine what it would be like painted by the felicitous hand of your Lordship'. He went on to assert that Titian had 'taken over from all our Flemings the reputation for landscape, a type of painting... in which we thought to hold the field'."
