Nicolaes Ryckmans

Nicolaes Ryckmans is a printmaker associated with the early seventeenth-century Dutch tradition of reproductive engraving, whose surviving sheets centre on mythological narrative subjects. His engraved work draws on classical storytelling, as in the depiction of Achilles among the daughters of Lycomedes. The archive holds a single sheet by Ryckmans, executed in engraving, dated by the Met to 1620, with impressions up to that year.
