This delicate foliage pattern was crafted to adorn a 17th-century binding of the Passion Series, originally created in 1521 by the great engraver Lucas van Leyden.This edition contains Jan Harmensz. Muller’s 17th-century copy of the original work. Muller was an artist best known for his skillful reinterpretations of the work of his predecessors. Though there is no indication that Muller himself attempted to pass off his work as that of the earlier master, scratched-out marks in this edition suggest that previous owners tried to make it appear as though they owned an original Van Leyden. It is only thanks to a small engraving of Muller’s name that we know this is a reproduction.
