Phillip Joseph Tassaert
Phillip Joseph Tassaert belongs to the European engraving tradition, working in etching and engraving to render religious narrative scenes with kneeling martyrs, angels and the Holy Family. His sheets in this archive, including the stoning of Saint Stephen and the Holy Family with Saint Elizabeth and the infant John the Baptist, place him within the devotional imagery of the early modern period. The collection holds two such prints, one pulled in etching and one in engraving, with impressions dated as late as 1756, well after the period of the original compositions. Together they offer a compact view of his handling of sacred subject matter across two intaglio techniques.
