Pieter de Jode II

Pieter de Jode II was a Flemish engraver whose reproductive prints carried the work of contemporary painters into wider circulation, and his own plates range from religious scenes and mythological groups to allegories and formal portraiture. The twelve sheets held here are dominated by engraving, with a few early impressions in mixed etching and engraving, and their dates per the Met span 1625 to 1650, impressions up to that point rather than a fixed limit of his career. Subjects include The Visitation, The Three Graces and Neptune and Cybele, alongside allegorical compositions and profile portraits of Spanish royalty.
