Joan Sadeler the elder (1550-1600)
Jan Sadeler and his brothers Aegidius and Raphael are originally from Brussels but later went to Germany where most of their important 16th century's production found birth. Although mainly done after the invention of contemporain artist from the late 16th century, the work of the Sadelers has it's place among the great achievements of 16th-17th European engraving art. The quality in design and de excellent engraving technical is also strongly present in this engraving.
Inventor
Paulus Bril (1554-1626)
Flemish School Painter of landscapes, engraver and miniaturist. Born in Antwerp but active in Rome most of his life together with his brother Mattheus who died at a young age of 24. Paulus gained even more respect then his brother and was a close friend of Carraci who even painted the personages in some of his paintings. Paulus Bril made "school" in Rome and trough his pupil Tassi he was the indirect master of Claude Lorrain. Bril worked for all the popes of the time. The greatest merit of Bril is that he was one of the first artists really involved in the painting of mainly landscapes. He added some Italian sweetness to the strong Flemish landscape style. He was seduced by the Ialian light and in this way he prepared the landscapes of Claude Lorrain
