Pieter Furnius (1545-1610)
Pieter Jalhea Furnius (1545 -1610)
Flemish name: Petrus Dufour
Flemish printmaker; painter/draughtsman
Born in Liège, pupil of Lambert Lombard worked Antwerp for Plantin 1563-71. Died in Liège.
We know little about the life and work of the Liège painter and engraver Pieter Furnius. The prints we know by Furnius show him as a significant representative of Flemish Mannerism. Furnius studied under the influential painter Lambert Lombard in Liège. He spent the years between 1563 and 1571 in Antwerp working as a reproductive engraver for such well-known publishers as Christopher Plantin and Hieronymus Cock, while also producing a number of prints after his own inventions. His powerful engraving technique is characteristic of what is called the Antwerp style, the most important representatives of which included such engravers as Crispijn van den Broeck, Cornelis Cort and Philips Galle.
