Johannes Meyssens

Johannes Meyssens is represented here by two engravings and etchings from 1640, a pair of sheets that place him within the printmaking culture of the seventeenth-century Low Countries. His subjects range from the dramatic religious turning point of The Conversion of Saint Paul to the mythological hunt of Atalanta and Meleager, showing an interest in narrative scenes drawn from scripture and classical myth. The collection holds two works, executed in engraving and etching, with impressions up to 1640.
