Jacobus Neefs
Jacobus Neefs belongs to the tradition of seventeenth-century engraving, a medium he used to render religious narrative with fine linear detail. His surviving output centres on sacred subjects, among them the apparition of Saint Augustine to a child on the shore. This archive holds a single sheet by his hand, executed in engraving and dated by the Met to 1640, with impressions up to that year. The plate reflects the close, disciplined linework typical of devotional printmaking in that period.
