Frans Pilsen
Frans Pilsen is represented in this archive by a single engraving, The Judgment of Midas, dated 1734. The printmaking of the early eighteenth century provides the context for this sheet, which treats a mythological subject through the burin-based technique of engraving. The collection accordingly holds one work from that year, with impressions up to 1734 reflecting later printings of the plate. Pilsen's presence here rests on this lone example, allowing the engraved line and its mythological theme to stand for the artist's contribution to the period.
