MASTER MZ (MATTHÄUS ZAISINGER ?) The King's Sons Shooting their Father's Corpse . Engraving, circa 1500. 177x247 mm; 7x9 3/4 inches, narrow margins. A very good, dark impression of this extremely scarce engraving. The subject of this engraving is not the Martyrdom of St. Sebastian , as Bartsch erroneously identified it, but one based on a tale in the 13th-century Gesta Romanorum (see Shestack, Fifteenth Century Engravings of Northern Europe , Washington, DC, 1968, catalogue number 147). Lehrs cites only approximately 25 impressions. Bartsch 4; Lehrs 21.
