From the Art Institute of Chicago record
Jan Harmensz Muller produced a series of engravings from three different vantage points after Adriaen de Vries’s sculpture Rape of a Sabine, which, though also made in the 16th century, replicates the style of antique bronzes. Muller’s series highlights both his engraving skill and his ability to mimic sculpture in the round. The antique subject is particularly apt for this, purpose, for the story of Roman soldiers requisitioning brides in bulk is optimal for showing the twists and turns of conflicting male and female anatomy.
