Franciscus Van Den Steen

Franciscus Van Den Steen is represented in this archive by a single engraving, a portrait-like devotional sheet titled Saint Pepin I and his daughter, Saint Begga. The print belongs to the mid-seventeenth century, with impressions up to 1645 as recorded by the Met, and reflects the engraver's work in a reproductive, line-based manner typical of the period's printmaking for pious subjects. As the collection holds only this one sheet, it offers a narrow but concrete point of entry into Van Den Steen's engraved output rather than a broad survey of his career.
