Ignatius Cornelis Marinus

Ignatius Cornelis Marinus belongs to the generation of Flemish printmakers whose reproductive engravings carried the grand altarpieces and devotional imagery of the early seventeenth century into wider circulation. His plates translate painted compositions into linear, burin-cut form, and the two sheets held here also include the Flight into Egypt as an independent subject. The collection preserves an engraving alongside a second or third state of three, with impressions up to 1620 reflecting the printings issued during and shortly after his lifetime.
