Hans von Aachen

Hans von Aachen belongs to the Mannerist current of late sixteenth-century European art, working across painting and print with a refined, elongated figure style. His subjects draw on mythology and allegory, as in the Judgment of Paris. This archive holds a single sheet associated with him, executed in silver gilt. The Met dates the sheets to 1665, well after the artist's lifetime, so the collection preserves impressions up to that year rather than original works from his hand.
