Michel Lasne

Michel Lasne is represented here by three engravings and an etching-and-engraving first state, all tied to the dates on the sheets, 1617. The subjects are devotional: two versions of the Vision of Saint Francis receiving the Christ child, and a Holy Family with Saint John the Baptist. The collection thus shows a printmaker working in the engraved line of the early seventeenth century, with religious narrative as the recurring theme.
