Cornelis Van Dalen, the Younger

Cornelis Van Dalen, the Younger, worked as a reproductive engraver in the mid-seventeenth century, carrying designs by other masters into print. His burin work reproduced portraits and allegorical subjects with the fine linear discipline typical of Dutch engraving of the period. The two sheets held here, dating from 1649 to 1655, include a portrait of Pietro Aretino and an allegory of nature's abundance, with impressions up to that span reflecting later printings of the plates.
