SADELER, Jan, engraver, was born at Brus.sels in 1550. The profession of his father was to engrave ornaments on steel and iron, to be inlaid with gold or silver, and Jan Sadeler was brought up to the same business. At a very early age, however, he applied himself to the study of the human figure, which he drew correctly, though with the stiffness and formality of the time. He was nearly twenty years of age before he commenced engraving on copper, when he executed some plates from the designs of Crispin Van den Broeck, which were so favourably received, that he was encouraged to devote his attention entirely to engraving. He travelled throughout Germany to Italy, where he divested himself, in a great degree, of the dry and hard maimer which is discernible in his earlier works. His plates are executed with the graver only, in a neat, clear style. His drawing is generally correct, and there is fine expression in his heads. Jan Sadeler died at Venice in 1600. His prints are very numerous ; the following list is confined to the best :
PORTRAITS. Clement VIII., Pont. Max. Marie de' Medici. Charles, Hereditary Prince of Sweden. Otho Henry. Count Schwarzenberg. Sigismund Feyerabeud, the famous printer. 1587. George Hoefnagel, painter of Antwerp. Martin Luther ; in an arabesque border.

SADELER, Marcus, is supposed to have been the son of Jan Sadeler, and to have been born at Munich between 1589 and 1595 ; but great uncertainty hangs about his paternity, and it is not clearly known whether he was an engraver as well as o publisher of prints. He resided many years at Venice, whither, it is said, he was taken by Jan Sadeler, and it is certain that many of the prints by Jan, Raphael, and Gillis were published by him; but only the second states have his address. Neither Basan, Lipowsky, nor Fiissli mention any of his works; while the 'Passion series,' after Diirer, which Heller ascribes to Marcus, are without signatures or dates (the latter would range from 1607 to 1013), although the second states have Marcus Sadeler's address. They are all reversed from the plates by Diirer.
SADELER, Philipp, engraver, a native of Munich, the son of Gillis Sadeler, flourished about 1626. He engraved portraits, landscapes, and pictures of saints.
SADELER, Raphael, the younger brother of Jan Sadeler, was born at Brussels in 1555, and brought up to the same profession. Jan and Raphael
