Abstract
125 H. L. Spiegel's Antrum Platonicum A Contribution to the Iconology of the Heart by P. J. VINKEN ttention was first drawn to the Antrum Platonicum, an engraving by Jan Saenredam, in an article by Otto Hirschmann, appearing in this A journal in 1915. In this study the engraving was associated with a painting by Cornelis Cornelisz. Although this painting has been lost, its representation is known to us thanks to a description of it in Karel van Mander's Grondt der Edel Vry Schilder-Const, where he refers to two famous Haarlem painters of his time, Cornelis Cornelisz, and Hendrick Goltzius. Speaking of Cornelisz, Van Mander writes: D'een is te recht een Schilder/ van den gonen Is t'Amsterdam de speloncke Platonis, In welcke dat Conste meer als ghewoon is. Daer sietmen Reflexy over al schampen/ Noch een hoop ghevanghen in 't doncker laghen/ Die met Argumenten schenen te campen/ Van Beelde-schaduwen door 't licht der Lampen/ Eenighe los/beelden en schaduw saghen/ Ander verder van daer hadden gheslaghen/ Diep in den Hemel 't ghesicht/ sonder neyghen/ Maer den sin beveel ick die 'tstuck is eyghen.1) A print from both the first and second states of Saenredam's engraving are present in
