Pieter de Bailliu

Pieter de Bailliu belongs to the printmakers of the seventeenth century, working above all in engraving and turning his attention to religious subjects. His Saint Mary Magdalene in ecstasy, supported by two angels exemplifies that focus, rendered in a first state from an edition of two. The archive holds a single sheet by him, dated 1630, and its technique is engraving throughout. Impressions up to that year reflect the period in which the plate was made and circulated.
