This woodcut portrait of Johannes Sambucus, a Hungarian scholar and humanist, was created by Arnaud Nicolaï between 1564 and 1584. The portrait is framed by an elaborate decorative border featuring stylized figures and a classical inscription, typical of the Renaissance style. This vignette is part of a larger work, “Emblemata, et aliqvot nvmmi antiqvi operis”, published by the renowned printer Christoffel Plantijn. The portrait highlights Sambucus’s intellectual stature and the meticulous craftsmanship of Renaissance printmaking.
