Christoffel Jegher
Christoffel Jegher is represented in this archive by a small group of woodcuts devoted to the Garden of Love and the March of Silenus, subjects that place him within the lively print culture of the seventeenth century. His relief cuts translate the flowing, rounded forms of contemporary painting into bold black line, and the collection's sheets carry dates that fall within a single year, with impressions up to 1652 recorded by the Met. Three woodcuts make up the holding, all sharing the same technique and offering a compact view of his graphic work.
