Jan Georg (Joris) van Vliet

Jan Georg (Joris) van Vliet belongs to the circle of Dutch printmakers working in the wake of Rembrandt, and his etchings and engravings dwell on grieving and laughing faces, biblical scenes and portrait heads. The five sheets held here show his command of etching, often carried through several states, alongside engraving and mixed intaglio work. Impressions up to 1634 are represented, spanning the 1620s into the following decade and including a portrait after Rembrandt.
