Sull’opera
Magdalena de Passe was just fourteen years old when she made this contribution to the family workshop’s print production as a full-fledged engraver. They are the first engravings she signed and are part of a series of depictions of the seven wonders of the ancient world. In both prints, De Passe created depth by engraving the background lighter than the foreground.
