VIRGIL SOLIS.
AGA R VIRGIL SOLIS, a German engraver, born at
L
Nuremberg in 1514. According to the
1/0 uſage of the time, he engraved both on wood
MEHVOR and on copper, chiefly from his own deſigns.
The copper-plates he engraved in the early
part of his life reſemble the works of Hans Sebald Beham ;
but when he afterwards engraved after the Italian Maſters,
he adopted a ſtyle more open and ſpirited. His wooden cuts
are ſimilar to thoſe of Joft Ammon, both with reſpect to the
compoſition and execution. His works prove him to have
been a man of conſiderable ability, and, though his deſign is
formal and ſtiff, ſome of his figures poſſeſs great merit. On
account of the ſmallneſs of his plates, this artiſt is ranked
among the little maſters. His works are very numerous,
amounting to upwards of eight hundred prints. He uſually
marked them with a cipher compared:of a y.and an S.
There has been conſiderable diſcuſſion reſpecting Virgilius
Solis, particularly whether he ever. engraved in wood. Zani
ſays, decidedly,“ non ha mai inciſo in legno.” Perhaps all that
need be ſaid on the matter is concentrated in the preliminary
remarks of Bartſch to the catalogue of his prints in tom. ix. of
“ Le Peintre Graveur,” of which the following is the ſub-
ſtance :—“ The little we know of the hiſtory of Virgilius
Solis is ſupplied by an inſcription at the bottom of his portrait
