Pieter Soutman

Pieter Soutman belongs to the Dutch Golden Age, a printmaker and painter whose etchings and engravings move between religious drama and exotic or mythological subjects. His plates here range across states, from a first state of two to a fourth state of four, and show a steady command of the burin alongside the etching needle. The archive holds five of his sheets, dated by the Met from 1595 to 1642, with impressions up to that later year. Subjects such as The Fall of the Damned, a Turkish prince on horseback, the Miraculous Draught of Fish and the Abduction of Proserpina suggest the breadth of his narrative range.
