Frans van den Wyngaerde
Frans van den Wyngaerde belongs to the seventeenth-century Flemish printmaking tradition, working chiefly in etching and engraving on subjects drawn from soldierly and peasant life as well as classical myth. Scenes of drinking, brawling and feasting recur across his sheets, alongside episodes such as the wedding of Peleus and Thetis or Bacchus with a drunken Silenus. Three impressions are gathered here, most of them etched and engraved, with dates running from 1635 to 1640 as recorded by the Met, a span that may include impressions up to later printings.
