inventive process of the artist. It is based on recording the discovery process
- via corrections and choosing the right line - through which the visual shapes
desired by the artist emerge gradually to be presented in their final state in
a new light.
Answers to questions concerning the way and degree to which concepts
presented in the sketchbook were used by Heidenreich are difficult to attain
due in part to the fragmentary state of his artistic oeuvre. Beside the artist’s
eight afore mentioned signed drawings, we know of one engraving design from
1620 featuring the triumphal arch built in honour of the Czech king Ferdinand

Psyche Sitting with
a Ui Candle in One Hand
